To Operate the Griddle (If equipped)
Foods can be placed directly on the griddle for cooking. To remove the griddle for
cleaning the burner box underneath, grasp the griddle in the front and gently putl
away from plug terminal, then lift up and out. To reinstall, grasp the griddle with
both hands at the end opposite the terminals and using the middle rod at the
terminal end as a guide, push the griddle into place.
1. Push in and turn the griddle control in either direction to the desired setting.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking.
2. The control does not haveto be set exactly on a particular mark. Usethe marks
as a guide and adjust the control as needed.
3. The griddle indicator light glows when the griddle ison. A quick glance at the
light when cooking isfinished isan easy check to be sure the control isturned
off.
4. Preheat for a few minutes (until butter melts or beads of water dance on the
griddle).
5. Useonly nylon or plastic spatulas, spoons, etc. Metal can scratch the nomstick
finish.
6. Make sure the griddle is turned OFF when cooking is finished. Leaving the
griddle ON will damage it.

Note: Due to the high intensity of heat
generated bythe surfaceelements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element
will be turned off. This phenomenon isnor-
md and the glasswill come back to itsorigi-
nalwhite color after it hascompletely cooled
down. (White glass cooktops only).
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)
The ceramic-glass cooktop haselectric heating coils located below the ceramicglass
surface. Thedesign of the glasscooktop outlinesthe area of the surface heating unit
below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter
of the surface unit. Heat istransferred up th rough the surface of the cooktop. Only
flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of cookware, number of
surface units in useand the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect
the amount of the heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas
surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be usedasa cutting board orwork surface. Dropping heavy
or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Panswith rough bottoms may scratch
the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without
utensils) isnot recommended asdifficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke
and cause a potential fire hazard. Never usethe griddle or similar cooking sheet on
the ceramic glass cooktop.
Types of Heating Units Used
REGULARRADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are usedto set the heat power levels. Knobs need first to be pressed
in when at OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil
indicates the utensil istoo small for the unit. The control knob does not haveto be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow.
Note: A builtqn protector will automatically turn off the radiant and expandable
radiant element if the ceramic-glass temperature exceeds the set limit.
