Even-Heat™ Element
This 6" element offers the low temperatures needed to melt
chocolate or butter without scorching or burning. This element is
also ideal for lower heat cooking, like simmering sauces and
warming foods.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn knob toward EVEN-HEAT MELT.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Dual Element
The dual-size element offers flexibility depending on the size of the
cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular
element. The dual size combines the single and outer element and
is recommended for larger cookware, large quantities of food, and
home canning.
For best High heat performance, match burner to cookware size.
For best Low heat or Simmer performance, match cookware
to largest cooking area ring and use single ring for desired
performance.
Dual Element
To Use Single:
1. Push in and turn knob from the OFF position to the SINGLE
zone anywhere between L and H.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
To Use Dual:
1. Push in and turn knob from the OFF position to the DUAL zone
anywhere between L and H.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is ON,
except when Melt or Warming Zone (on some models) are used.
It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot.
As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops
with light-colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more
visible, and may require more cleaning and attention. Cooktop
cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended.
For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack
the cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to 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
using a scraper 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.
■ To avoid scratches, 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.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the 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.
■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
on the cooktop.
