COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and “0” (OFF).

On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the principle of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to setting 5, the element will be on 50% of the time.

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

Elements

Quick Light Radiant Heating Elements

The quick light radiant heating elements are designed for fast heat response. You can see them light up in just seconds. These elements consist of a set of special heater coils embedded in a thermal insulation material. You may notice the element going on and off a number of times during use. This is a normal occurrence.

Simmer Element (on some models)

The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for preparation of foods that require very low heat such as sauces, chocolate or cheese.

Warming Element

(on ceramic glass models)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Warming Element area is too hot to touch.

■Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

■Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.

■You might want to use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power On Lights

The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when its corresponding surface element is turned on.

To Use:

1.Set switch to ON. The light will glow red.

2.Set switch to OFF when finished.
