Surface Cooking

For most cooking, start on the highest control

setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Use the chart below as a guide for

determiningproperamesizeforvarioustypes

ofcooking.Thesizeandtypeofutensilusedand

theamountoffoodbeingcookedwillinuencethe

setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, useathermometerandadjust

the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too

cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If

the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that

thecenterwillbeundercooked.Donotattemptto

deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will

neither brown nor cook properly.

The coloroftheameis the key to proper burner

adjustment.Agoodameisclear,blue andhardly

visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ame

shouldbesteadyandsharplydened.Adjustorclean

Oriceport

Should you experience ignition problems it may be

that an ignition port hole is partially blocked with

soil(seegurebelow).Withtheburnerheadin

place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of

a paper clip to clear the ignition port or ports.

Priortousingyourcooktopforthersttime,apply

aceramiccooktopcleaningcream(availablein

mosthardware,groceryanddepartmentstores)to

the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean

paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when

soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams

leaveaprotectivenishontheglasstohelp

prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on

the cooktop glass can cause metal markings on the

cooktop surface. These marks should be removed

immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the

cooktopcleaningcream.Metalmarkscanbecome

permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware(castiron,metal,ceramic orglass)with

rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop

surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass

across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a

cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not

cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a

pan. Do notdropheavyorhardobjectsontheglass

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning burner grates, caps, heads and glass cooktop

Cleaning recommendations for the

ceramic glass cooktop

30°

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use scrub pad.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream

directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel

tocleantheentirecooktopsurface.Makesurethe

cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

Donotusethetowelyouusetocleanthecooktop

for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then,

if soils remain, protect your hand with a potholder

andcarefullyscrapesoilswithametalrazorblade

scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to

the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop

cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if

spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface.

Permanentdamage(suchaspittingofthecooktop

surface) may occur if not removed immediately.

AfterturningthesurfaceelementsOFF,usearazor

blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and

scrape the soilfromthehotsurface(asillustrated

on previous page).Allow the cooktop to cool, and

use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass

cooktop:

• Donotuseabrasivecleanersandscouring

pads, such as metal and some nylon pads.

They may scratch the cooktop, making it

moredifculttoclean.

• Donotuseharshcleaners,suchaschlorine

bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they

may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Donotusedirtysponges,clothsorpaper

towels, as they can leave soil or lint on

the cooktop which can burn and cause

discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum

Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage

the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking

utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop

underANYcircumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of

aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.

Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans

are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil dry,

not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may

fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface,

permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
