READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE  
SAFETY DURING USE  
• This appliance may only be used for normal  
cooking and frying in the home. It is not  
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.  
• If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the  
element will be exposed to direct contact and  
could ignite clothing or potholder.  
• Do not use the cooktop to heat the room.  
• Do not place any object on or near the control  
keypad area in order to prevent accidental  
activation of the cooktop controls.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE  
• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply  
the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the  
ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or  
pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled  
from cooking.  
The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a  
protective finish on the glass to help prevent  
scratches and abrasions.  
• Keep meltable objects or materials away from the  
ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic  
utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps.  
If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-  
glass surface, these should be cleaned up  
immediately.  
NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when  
the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking  
zone!  
• Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or  
storage space.  
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build up on the  
bottom.  
• Please be careful at the edges when moving pots  
and pans.  
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven  
bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the  
cooktop surface.  
• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots  
or pans.  
• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or  
pans on the element.  
• Refer to the owners manual for proper cleaning  
and maintenance of the cooktop.  
• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to  
sharp temperature changes but is not  
unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp  
objects fall on it.  
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a  
cutting board.  
• Never cook directly on the galss. Always use  
cookware.  
• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron,  
or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving  
these can cause scratches on glass.  
CAUTION  
Burn Hazard: The Cooking Zones may appear  
cool when turned ON and after they have been  
turned OFF.  
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a  
hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately,  
while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage  
the surface when removed.  
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop  
surface.  
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES  
To protect the environment, it is important that  
worn-out appliances are disposed of in the correct  
manner.  
CAUTION  
Before disposing of old appliances please  
make them inoperable so they cannot be a  
source of danger. To do this, have a qualified  
person disconnect the appliance from the  
house circuitry.  
• The appliance must not be disposed of with  
household rubbish.  
You can obtain information about collection dates  
or public refuse disposal sites from your local  
health council or environmental health office.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

prepared. Check for  
flatness by rotating a ruler  
across the bottom of the  
cookware.  
Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause  
metallic discoloring on the ceramic glass surface  
which is very difficult or impossible to remove.  
Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots  
with damaged bases which are rough and or have  
burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are  
slid across the surface.  
When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly  
in wards(concave). They should never be bowed  
outwards(convex).  
• If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a  
pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please  
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do not  
use a very thin pan.

SELECTING COOKWARE  
AVOIDING SCRATCHES  
(cont.)  
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY:  
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge  
stainless steel cookware on your ceramic cooktop  
surface. This will help reduce the possibility of  
developing scratches on the ceramic surface.  
Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop  
surface.  
• Always position pots and pans before you switch  
on the Cooking Zone.  
• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more  
electricity.  
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly  
placed on the pots and pans so that they are  
completely covered.  
Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic  
cooktop surface to prevent scratching.  
Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic  
cooktop can affect the overall appearance of the  
cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware  
over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall  
appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup  
of scratches can make cleaning the surface difficult  
and degrade the overall appearance of the  
cooktop.  
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the  
cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping  
food warm or for melting purpose.  
Scratches can also result from grains of sand (e.g.,  
after washing vegetables) which are dragged with  
the pot across the cooking surface.  
• The base of the pot should have the same size as  
the cooking zone.  
FOR BEST RESULTS:  
Always follow the recommendations for proper  
cookware type and size. In addition:  
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always  
use pans that are easy to clean after cooking, and  
make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean  
and dry.  
• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use  
large pots so that nothing can boil over.  
• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking  
times by up to 50%.  
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause  
permanent damage in the form of breakage,  
fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic  
cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by  
your warranty.)  
• Match the pan size and Cooking Zone to the  
amount of food being prepared.

CLEANING THE COOKTOP  
NORMAL DAILY USE CLEANING  
Step. 2  
When the cooking surface has  
cooled down apply a few dabs  
(about the size of a dime) of  
an approved cleaner in each  
burner area and work the  
cleaning cream over the cooktop surface with a damp  
paper towel as if you were cleaning a window.  
ONLY use Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner on the glass  
cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or they  
might damage the surface with scratches or  
permanent staining.  
To maintain and protect the surface of your glass  
cooktop, follow these steps:  
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it  
with Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect  
the top and makes cleanup easier.  
NOTE: Approved cleaner  
Weiman CookTop Cleaning Cream  
(www.weiman.com)  
Daily use of Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner will help  
keep the cooktop looking new.  
Cerama Bryte  
(www.ceramabryte.com)  
Hope’s Cooktop Cleaning Cream  
(www.camden-industrial.com)  
Easy-Off 3 in 1 Glass Top Cleaner Spray  
(www.easyoff.com).  
Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops  
of Cleaner directly to the cooktop.  
Use a paper towel clean the entire cooktop  
surface.  
Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper  
towel to remove all cleaning residue.  
Step. 3  
As a final step, clean with  
clear water and wipe the  
cooktop surface with a clean,  
dry paper towel.  
NOTE:  
It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop  
until it has been cleaned thoroughly.  
CAUTION  
Important: If any sugar or food containing sugar  
(preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge,  
candy, syrups, chocolate, etc.), a plastic item or  
kitchen foil accidentally melts on the hot surface of  
your cooktop, remove the molten material  
IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (it will not  
damage the decorated cooking surface) while the  
cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of  
damage to the glass-ceramic surface. For your  
safety please wear an oven mitt potholder while  
cleaning the hot cooking surface.  
• DO NOT use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning  
pads.  
- They may damage your glass cooktop surface.  
• For your safety please wear an oven mitt  
potholder while cleaning the hot cooking  
surface.  
BURNED-ON RESIDUE  
To clean the glass-ceramic  
Step. 1  
First remove any burnt-on  
deposits or spilled food from  
your glass-ceramic cooking  
surface with a suitable metal  
razor scraper (similar to  
scraping paint off of your  
windowpanes in your home - it will not damage the  
decorated cooking surface). Hold the scraper at  
approximately a 30˚ angle to the cooktop.  
METAL MARKS AND SCRATCHES  
Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your  
cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the  
cooktop surface. These marks are removable using  
the Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with the Cleaning  
Pad for Ceramic Cooktops.  
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper  
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black  
discoloration on the cooktop. This should be  
removed immediately before heating again or the  
discoloration may be permanent.  
NOTE: Do not use a dull or nicked blade. For your  
safety, please wear an oven mitt potholder while using  
the metal scraper.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
(cont.)  
WARNING  
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends  
from the surface unit to the junction box using a  
suitable strain relief at the point the armored cable  
enters the junction box. Then make the electrical  
connection as follows.  
DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO  
NOT connect to electrical power supply until  
appliance is permanently grounded.  
Connect the ground wire before turning on  
the power.  
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.  
This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire  
and a frame connected green or bare copper  
grounding wire.  
WARNING  
This appliance is equipped with a copper  
conductor flexible cable. If connection is  
made to aluminum house wiring, use only  
special connectors which are approved for  
joining copper and aluminum wires in  
accordance with the National Electrical Code  
and local codes and ordinances. Improper  
connection of aluminum house wiring to  
copper leads can result in a short circuit or  
fire. Follow the connector manufacturer’s  
recommended procedure closely.  
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:  
The armored cable leads supplied with the  
appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger  
gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads  
is rated at temperatures much higher than the  
temperature rating of household wiring. The  
current-carrying capacity of the conductor wire is  
governed by the temperature rating of the  
insulation around the wire, rather than the wire  
gauge alone.
