Removing and Reinstalling Cooktop

WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch surface elements or area near elements. Surface elements may be dark in color even when hot. Areas near elements may be hot enough to burn. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable material contact surface elements until they have had time to cool.

1.Turn off circuit breaker or electrical supply.

2.Disconnect cooktop wires from house wires.

• See Power Supply Connection section.

3.Lift cooktop out of cutout.

4.Reverse procedure to reinstall cooktop.

Cooking with Smoothtop Elements

WARNING

To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on a broken smoothtop cooking surface. Spillovers or cleaners can penetrate surface and create a risk of electrical shock. If smoothtop cooking surface breaks, discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer immediately.

To avoid risk of serious personal injury, property damage, or fire, do not leave surface elements unattended while in operation. Grease and spillovers can ignite causing a fire.

Before cooking on smoothtop, wipe top with cleaner conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes marks and stains easier to remove.

Use heavy-gauge metal cookware not including cast iron.

Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats slowly and may not boil water. Cookware with an aluminum disk bottom makes excellent contact with cooking surface. See Utensils section for more information.

Do not use glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-porcelain cookware. Small imperfections on bottom of such cookware can scratch smoothtop surface.

Smoothtop cooking surface is not “scratch proof”. Surface is highly scratch and impact resistant. With recommended cooking utensils and proper care, it will continue looking good through years of use.
