About the surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element will glow red.

For ecient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

The size and type of

cookware used will

inuence the surface

element power level

setting needed for

best cooking results.

Be sure to follow the

recommendations for

using proper cookware as

illustrated in both Figs. 1

& 2.

Fig. 1

Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom

of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have at

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See Fig. 2).

Element On indicator lights

The ELEMENT ON indicator lights are marked on the

control panel and will glow when a surface cooking element

is turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights after

cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are

turned OFF.

Surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned o. The surface

element may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface

element is touched before it has cooled suciently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch re

if placed too close to the surface elements.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in risk of electric shock, or re.

Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that could

melt on the surface elements.

Make sure reector pans or drip bowls are in place —

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject

wiring or components underneath to damage.

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight tting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size of

the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot

diameter to surface

element size.

Fig. 2
