COOKTOP USE
%=17 11i_,,_Ii)
%=0_) K_;',i)
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.
Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking
area Iocator shows which element is turned on. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HI • Start food cooking,
• Bring liquid to a boil.
Medium High • Hold a rapid boil.
6-8 • Quickly brown or sear food.
Medium • Maintain a slow boil.
5• Fry or saute foods.
• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
Medium Low • Stew or steam food.
2-4 • Simmer.
LO • Keep food warm.
• Melt chocolate or butter.
IREMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
become hot.
NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate
when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white or biscuit ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops
with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more
visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more
information, see "General Cleaning" section.
• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the
cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. _2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
