COOKTOP SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

,= CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above a cooktop - Children climbing on the

cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

_, Proper Installation - Be sure your cooktop is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

_, Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the

Room.

_, Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

cooktop.

_, Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the cooktop.

_, User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the

cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All

other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

_, Storage on Cooktop - Flammable materials should not be

stored near surface units.

_, Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

,,, Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

,,, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface

units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces

facing the cooktop.

_, Use Proper Pan Size - This cooktop is equipped with one

or more surface units of different size. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized utensils will

expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact

and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

,= Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite.

,= Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature.

,= Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a

utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and

does not extend over adjacent surface units.

,= Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact

a qualified technician immediately.

,= Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to

avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood -

,= Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

,= When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

For units with coil elements -

,= Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in

Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during

cooking may subject wiring or components

underneath to damage.

,= Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual.

Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of

electric shock, or fire.

,= Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating

elements should never be immersed in water.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

COOKTOP USE

Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

HIGH • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

Medium High • Hold a rapid boil.

10-6 • Quickly brown or sear food.

MED • Maintain a slow boil.

Medium • Fry or saute foods.

6-4

• Cook soups, sauces and

gravies.

Medium Low • Stew or steam food.

4-2 • Simmer.

SIMMER • Provide lowest simmer/heat

setting.

DUAL COOKING • Home canning.

ZONE(S) • Large-diameter cookware.

• Large quantities of food.

MELT FUNCTION • Melt chocolate or butter.

WARM FUNCTION • Keep cooked foods warm.

The cooktop touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for

optimal cooking results. For normal surface cooking element

operation, the cooktop touch controls can be set anywhere

between SIMMER and HIGH.

When melting foods such as chocolate or butter, or when

proofing bread, the right front and left front surface cooking areas

can be set to MELT for minimal element operation.

For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can

be set to HIGH when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil.

Touch the "down" arrow to immediately reach the HIGH setting.

To Use:

1. Touch ON/OFR

2. Touch the "up" or "down" arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been

reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface

cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all

elements off at the same time.

I REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire I

cooktop area may become hot.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the

cooktop touch controls. See "Parts and Features" section. The

Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any surface

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking

area(s) is turned off.

If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, and if the power

failure is less than 1 hour, the Hot Surface Indicator Lights will

remain on after power is restored to the cooktop. They will remain

on until the cooktop has cooled completely.

The ALL OFF cooktop touch controls turn off all surface cooking

areas that are in use at the same time.

The LOCKED cooktop touch control prevents unintended use of

the surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the

surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch

controls.

To Lock Cooktop: Press and hold the LOCKED keypad for

5 seconds. After 5 seconds, a light will glow red above the "ALL

OFF LOCKED" indicator, indicating that the cooktop touch

controls are in the lockout position.

To Unlock Cooktop: Press and hold the LOCKED keypad for

5 seconds.

\ /

A. Surface Cooking Area

B. Cookware/Canner

C. 1" (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang

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.

Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small

expansion channels can be used.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits

when heated.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

The Dual Cooking Zone(s) 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 both the single and

outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

When you are using the single size element, the dual size element

can be turned on at any time, and you can switch back to the

single size element if needed.

To Use SINGLE:

1. Touch ON/OFF SINGLE.

2. Touch the "up" or "down" arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been

reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF SINGLE to turn

surface cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to

turn all elements off at the same time.

To Use DUAL:

1. Touch ON/OFF DUAL.

2. Touch the "up" or "down" arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been

reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF DUAL to turn surface

cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all

elements off at the same time.

TheMeltFunctionisavailableonboththerightfrontandleftfront

elements,andisidealformeltingchocolateorbutter.

ToUse:

1. Touch ON/OFR

2. Touch the "up" arrow once for MELT.

3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface

cooking area.

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour

before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or

sickness.

The Warm Function is available on the rear elements, and can be

used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or

not the other surface cooking zones are in use.

It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Warm

Function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but

the indicator light will glow on the control panel.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and

cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact

with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to

remove cookware.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic

wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.

When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover

for moisture to escape.

Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Warm Function

for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm

for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

To Use:

1. Touch ON/OFR

2. Touch the "up" arrow once for WARM.

3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface

cooking area.

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" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements

or surface burners at the same time.

• Only use flat-bottomed canners.

For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that

manufacture home canning products can also offer

assistance.

IMPORTANT: Do not 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 they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has

the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick 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.

• Suitable for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for

most cooking tasks.

Cast iron

• 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.

Ceramic or

Ceramic glass

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• Use on low heat settings.

Porcelain • See stainless steel or cast iron.

enamel-on-

steel or cast

iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even

heating.

COOKTOP CARE

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions

on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless

otherwise noted.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop

Polishing Creme, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some

paper towels. Damage may occur.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

• Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included): See back

cover for ordering information.

• Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner: Rinse with clean

water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

• Vinegar for hard water spots.

RADIANT GLASS

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine

bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent

streaking and staining.

Cooktop Cleaning Creme supplied with your cooktop should be

used regularly to help prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions,

and to condition the cooktop. It can be purchased as a kit

along with the Cooktop Scraper. Ask for stock number

22-364-WX10Xl 17 when reordering.

A blue 3M SCOTCH-BRITE ®no scratch scrub sponge supplied

with your cooktop is also recommended for stubborn soils. This

pad is designed specifically to keep your radiant glass clean. Do

not use this pad to clean any other surfaces.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and

can be ordered as an accessory. Ask for stock number

22-364-WX10X302 when ordering. The Cooktop Scraper uses

razor blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.

Light to moderate soil

• Paper towels or blue 3M SCOTCH-BRITE ®no scratch scrub

sponge: Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want

to wear oven mitts while doing so.

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)

• Blue 3M SCOTCH-BRITE ®no scratch scrub sponge: Clean

while the cooktop is still warm. You will want to wear oven

mitts while doing so.

Cooktop Scraper, Cooktop Cleaning Creme and clean damp

paper towel: Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down.

Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft

cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration

• Cooktop Scraper, Cooktop Cleaning Creme or nonabrasive

cleanser: Rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or

soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Burned-on soil

• Cooktop Cleaning Creme and blue 3M SCOTCH-BRITE ®no

scratch scrub sponge: Rub creme into soil with damp paper

towel. Repeat for stubborn spots. Polish entire cooktop with

creme and paper towel.

Metal marks from aluminum and copper

• Cooktop Cleaning Creme: Clean as soon as cooktop has

cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper

towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film

disappears. The marks will not totally disappear but after

many cleanings become less noticeable.

Tiny scratches and abrasions

• Cooktop Cleaning Creme: Rub creme into surface with a

damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white

film disappears. Scratches and abrasions do not affect
