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 HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting.

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

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located on the console panel.

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

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 cookware. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more 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.

Dual Cooking Zone (on some models)

The Dual Cooking Zone 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.

Ceramic Glass (on some models)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area.	A		B
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the
area.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating.		A. Dual
