Power Boost TM Option
when the dual or triple elements are used, the Power BoostTM
option can be selected. This setting offers higher speed
cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and
for large-quantity cooking.
Smoothtop Surface
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
, Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in
settings as quickly as coil elements.
, in the event of a potential boiiover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
, Never attempt to lift the cooktop.
The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
Pans should not extend more than 1/2to 1=inch beyond
the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

mendations on page 7.
