INSERTING AND REMOVING MODULES
Modules can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each module has a plug which fits into a receptacle in the side of the well nearest the center of the cooktop.
Some modules are inserted and removed differently than others. See each module section for specific in- structions for installing and removing that module.
USING COOKTOP CONTROLS
RECIPES
Each module section in this manual includes some recipes that may be prepared on that module. These recipes should get you started cooking and give you an idea of the various ways you can use each module.
CARE OF MODULES
Some of the modules must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should be cleaned after each use. The longer soil remains, the harder it is to clean. See each module section in this manual for specific in-
structions. Never immerse any module in water.
When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories should be stored in a clean, dry place. Always be careful not to drop the modules or they could be damaged.

LOCATOR SYMBOL
The cooktop controls can be set anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings. To turn the control knobs from the OFF position, push the knobs in, then turn in either direction.
COOKTOP SIGNAL LIGHT
The cooktop signal light on the control panel will glow when any cooktop element is on. It will remind you to turn all the cooktop elements off when you are finished cooking.
USING OPEN COIL ELEMENTS
See the information on using open coil elements on pages
USING DOWNDRAFT VENTING
Downdraft ranges have their own venting system within the unit. Cooking vapors and smoke are routed through the vents to the outside.
Whenever you turn any rear cooktop control knob or the oven on, the blower will come on also. Use the HI/LO switch on the front panel to adjust blower speed.
When the oven only is on, a LO blower setting is recom- mended.

Open Coil Reflector Bowls

Porcelain Enameled Wells and Cooktop
Porcelain enamel can crack or chip with misuse. It can stain if spillovers of foods with a high acid content (such as tomato or lemon juice) are not cleaned up quickly.
Wash with soap and water. For heavy soil, cover with a damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes or use a scouring pad. Rinse with vinegar and water and dry with a paper towel. When cleaning porcelain wells, be careful not to get the receptacles wet. Do not try to fill the wells with water.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
Wash with soap and water. For heavy soil, cover with a damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes. A chrome cleaner may be used.
To remove fingerprints, apply a little baby oil or cooking oil with a cloth or paper towel. Rub in the same direc- tion as the brush marks on the chrome.
Painted Control Panel
Wash with soap and water. Rinse with vinegar and water and dry with a paper towel. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners because they may damage the finish.
