Cooktop Operating Instructions

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packing materials and literature from the cooktop surface.

While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® packaged with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth. (See Page 9 for daily care instructions.)

There may be a slight odor during the first several uses; this is normal and will disappear.

Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used. (See Page 7.)

The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

Read all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.

Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass surface; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.

Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.

Never cook food directly on the glass.

Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass surface.

Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.

Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

General Operation of Cooktop

The cooktop uses touch pads and a magnetic dial to operate the cooktop.When touching the glass of a touch pad, such as an element or function pad, use the flat part of the finger and touch the center of the pad. A beep will sound when touching any of these pads.

mTwisT Dial

The cooktop uses a mTwisT magnetic dial to select the desired heat setting. The mTwisT dial is held onto the cooktop by a strong magnet and automatically positions itself in the center of the dial location when placed on the cooktop.

Note: If the dial is removed from the cooktop when in use, all elements will be turned off. The cooktop is locked and the Panel Lock light comes on. (See Setting Panel Lock on Page 6.)

Element‘ON’ Indicator Light

The area above the element touch pad being used will show the cook setting when the element is on. When the element is turned off, the hot surface indicator comes on in this area. (See Hot Surface Indicator Light below).

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. A letter H will appear above the element touch pad. The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.

If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time.
