ENGLISH
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to
prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• Do not turn surface units on before placing
cookware.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop
surface that could fall and damage it.
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such
as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrappings or any other material on the
range when it is in use.
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or
abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the
surface.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by
permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface.
For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to
the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen
through the glass cooktop surface.
NOTE
• It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on
and off during cooking, even on higher settings.
This will happen more frequently if cooking on a
lower temperature setting.
a SINGLE
b WARM ZONE
c DUAL
d TRIPLE
NOTE
• It is normal to see a very faint red ring around
the outer edge of a dual or triple element when
using it as a single element at a high heat
setting. This is only a reflection from the bright
glow of the center element and is not a
malfunction.
Using the Cooktop Elements
CAUTION
• Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for
oven and cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from
the cooktop and oven.
• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food while on
the cooktop. Plastic may melt onto the surface
and be very difficult to remove.
• Never leave food on the cooktop unattended.
Spillovers can cause smoke. Greasy spillovers
may catch on fire.
• The surface element may appear to have cooled
after it has been turned off. The element may
still be hot and touching the element before it
has cooled sufficiently can cause burns.
• Match the size of the cooktop element to the size
of the cookware in use. Using a large element for
a small pan wastes heating energy, and the
exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire
hazard.
NOTE
• Hot Surface Indicator
- The hot surface indicator light glows as long as
any surface cooking area is too hot to touch.
- It remains on after the element is turned off
and until the surface has cooled to
approximately 150 ˚F.
Turning on a Single Element
1 Push the Single element knob in A.
2 Turn the knob in either direction to the
desired setting B.
• The control knob clicks when it is positioned
at O F F, H I and L O.
