• Donotcookfoodsdirectlyonthecooktop.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heaw
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.
• Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Use on low heat settings.
• See stainless steel or cast iron.Porcelain enamel-
on-steel or cast
iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on
stainless steel provides even heating.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. Canners should not extend more than
1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.

Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate
or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can
be set to MELT & HOLD for minimal element operation.
To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the
surface cooking area can be set to KEEP WARM.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch
the "down" arrow to immediately reach the HI setting.
NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation
without affecting cooking performance.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFE
2. Touch the "up" or "down" arrow to increase or decrease
power.
3. To choose a power level between HI and MELT & HOLD,
touch and hold either arrow until the desired level has been
reached.
