Drip bowls should be used at all times. Do not use aluminum
foil to cover drip bowls. Use of aluminum foil could result in
improper cooking, or damage to the element.
• Prolonged use of elements without pots can cause damage
and early failure.
• Use of round bottom woks is not recommended.
• The temperature of the cooktop surface increases with the
number of elements that are on. With 3 or 4 elements turned
on, surface temperatures are high.
See the "General Cleaning" section, for care and cleaning
instructions.

Quick light radiant heating elements:
The quick light radiant heating elements are designed for fast
heat response. You can see them light up in just seconds.
These elements consist of a set of special heater coils embedded
in a thermal insulation material. You may notice the element going
on and off a number of times during use. This is a normal
occurrence.
To maximize the efficiency of this type of heater coil, we suggest
you use it similarly to your previous element type. Turn to
maximum until the desired temperature is reached, then turn it
down to the setting that best maintains the desired heat.
See the "General Cleaning" section, for care and cleaning
suggestions. Do not use the range if the cooktop is cracked or
broken.
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 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
• On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT: Never 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-heavy
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 afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a non-stick 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.
Cast iron
Ceramic or
Ceramic glass
Copper
Earthenware
Porcelain
enamel-on-steel
or cast iron
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Heats slowly, but unevenly.
• Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Use on low heat settings.
• See stainless 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 the range is first plugged in, or after a power interruption,
the display will flash "12:00" until the CLOCK pad (button) is
pressed.
When the oven is in use, the display shows preheat time and the
temperature and oven setting.
When the oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day.
When using the TIMER, for settings of 1-59 minutes, the display
will count down in seconds. For settings I hour or over, the
display will count down hours and minutes.
When using COOK TIME, the display will show hours and
minutes.
