Surface Cooking

the knob between High and Low to obtain the desired boil action.)

Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry, saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting. The High setting is always used to bring liquids to a boil. Once the liquid boils, always turn the control to the lowest setting that will maintain the boil action.

Flex-ChoiceTMElement (select models)

The Flex-ChoiceTMelement is a fully functioning element that provides an ultra low Melt heat setting for melting chocolate and butter. It is located in the left rear position

The Melt setting is located between

2 and OFF. Heat settings outside of this area function as a normal element, with 2 (Low) to High settings.

Note: When using the normal settings for preparing foods, it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool to the Melt heat setting.

Smoothtop Surface

Notes:

•For Canadian models, the smoothtop does NOT operate during a clean cycle.

•Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot Surface indicator light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

•In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

•Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

•The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 7.
