IMPORTANT–^{Please Read and Follow}

Before Using Cooktop

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS.

Surface areas may become hot enough to cause burns. Surface

elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. During

and after use, do not touch or let flammable materials contact

heating elements until they have had time to cool.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of

a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned toward the center

of the range so that it does not extend over adjacent surface

elements.

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any

visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the

manufacturing process.

Glass Cooktop

Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough

cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a

minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its

initial use.

• Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and

other flammable liquids. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.)

may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.

• DO NOT heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may

cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to

wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot

surface.

Cooking Utensils

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking

utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of

personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good

condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide

maximum performance and convenience.

• DO NOTcook on a broken cooktop. Spillovers or cleaning solution

may penetrate a broken glass top and create a risk of electrical

shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your

cooktop become broken.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or

other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Operating Single Elements

All burners have variable controls. Turn the knob counter-clockwise one

click left to achieve the lowest setting. Continue turning clockwise

through the Med to Med-Hi Settings. The final setting once you have

turned the knob counter-clockwise to its max is the Hi setting.

CAUTION

Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is not recommended.

Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

Operating Double Elements

All burners have variable controls. Turn the knob counter-clockwise one

click left to achieve the highest setting for the center element.

Continue turning clockwise through the Med-Hi, Med, and down to

the Lo setting.

Continuing to turn counter-clockwise will bring you into the Lo setting

with both elements now activated. From here, continue turning

counter-clockwise to activate the Lo-Med, Med, and Med-Hi settings of

both elements. The final setting once you have turned the knob

counter-clockwise to its max is the Hi setting with both elements

activated.

Cooking Substitutes Charts

Cleaning and Maintenance

In many cases, a recipe requires an ingredient which is not readily

available or calls for a unit of measure that is not easily recognized.

The following charts have been provided as useful guides in these

situations.

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when

maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no

exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean. Make sure all controls

are in the “OFF” position.

Ingredient Substitutes

Glass Ceramic Top

Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard

porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass

ceramic top, follow these basic steps:

Recipe calls for:

1 tbsp. cornstarch

Substitute with:

2 tbsp. flour (thickening)

1 whole egg

2 egg yolks plus 1 tbsp. water

For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool

soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning

leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing

scratches and abrasions.

1 c. skim milk plus 2 tbsp. margarine or

1/2 c. evaporated milk plus 1/2 c. water

1 c. whole milk

1 oz. unsweetened chocolate 3 tbsp. cocoa powder plus 1 tbsp. margarine

1 tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar plus 1/4 tsp. baking

soda

1/2 c. butter

7 tbsp. margarine or shortening

For heavy, burned soil:

1 c. dairy sour cream

1 tbsp. lemon juice plus 1 c. evaporated milk

1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled

area using a damp paper towel.

Kitchen Equivalent and Metrics

2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade.

Hold the blade at a 30˚ angle against the ceramic surface.

3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional

protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface

with the cleaning cream.

4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves

a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to

prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make

future cleaning easier.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Service Information

Cooktop Surfaces

If service is required, call your dealer or authorized service agency.

The name of the authorized service agency can be obtained from the

dealer or distributor in your area.

Several different finishes have been used in your cooktop. Cleaning

instructions for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA,

STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS

SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS.

THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.

Have the following information readily available:

• Model number

• Serial number

Control Knobs

• Date purchased

• Name of dealer from whom purchased

MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION

BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and

warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.

Stainless Steel Parts

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy

water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner

designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT

use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape

stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot

towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or

scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to

scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on

stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless

steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

proof of purchase upon request, and making the appliance reasonably accessible for service. If the product

or one of its component parts contains a defect or malfunction during the warranty period, after a
