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.

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

I
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.

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

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-

Stainless steel Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even

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.
