COOKTOP USE

WARNING

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 HIGH and LOW. Push in and turn to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cooktop. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend move than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.

Ceramic Glass (on some models)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again even while in High to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.

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.

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605B contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

■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.
