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 14 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 12.)

•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 Care & Use 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 glass ceramic 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.

Element “ON” Indicator Light

The element “ON” indicator light glows whenever any element is turned on.The light remains lit until all of the elements are turned off.

The “ON” light is located to the left of the Power Pad.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. After the element is turned off, an “H” will appear in the element display. The H remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.

If an H is lit inside the element display, 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.

LOCKING THE COOKTOP

To unlock, touch PANEL LOCK Pad and hold for 3 seconds. A beep will sound and the light will go out indicating the cooktop is unlocked.

The cooktop cannot be locked when a surface element is operating.

It is recommended to lock the cooktop when not in use and for cleaning.
