CONTROLS  
Infinite Heat Controls  
At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight  
niche so control “clicks” at those positions; “click” on  
the word HI marks the highest setting; the lowest  
setting is the word LO. In a quiet kitchen, you may  
hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking,  
indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.  
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a  
quicker change than switching to lower settings.  
How to Set the Controls  
Control must be pushed in to  
set only from OFF position.  
When control is in any position  
other than OFF, it may be  
rotated without pushing in.  
Be sure you turn the control knob  
to OFF when you finish cooking.  
An indicator light will glow when  
a surface unit is on.  
Step 1. Grasp control knob and  
push down.  
Step 2. Turn the knob to desired  
heat setting.

COOKING TIPS  
Cookware  
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum  
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.  
iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb  
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat  
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined  
with other metals.  
Right  
Wrong  
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the  
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of  
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the  
edge of the trim ring more than l“.  
Over 1”  
Deep Fat Frying  
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.  
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.  
Keep range and hood clean from grease.  
Wok Cooking  
Do not use woks that  
you use only a  
have support rings  
bottomed wok. They  
are available at your  
local retail store.  
woks, with or without  
the ring in place, can be  
dangerous. Placing the  
ring over the surface  
.,:  
unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the  
porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks  
without the ring. Your could be seriously burned if the  
wok tipped over.  
The 3-in 1  
surface unit allows a choice of 4-inch, 6-inch or  
8-inch heating pattern to match the size of the cookware being used.  
How to Use It  
1. Set appropriate pan on the unit.  
2. Turn 3-in-1 Surface Unit Selector knob the select  
unit size. The unit may be used as an 8-inch, 6-inch  
or 4-inch unit to accommodate large, medium-sized  
or small cookware. Match unit size selection to size  
of cookware.

CARE  
AND  
CLEANING  
Control Knobs  
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.  
M
To remove knob, pull straight off the stem. If  
knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a  
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around  
the knob edge and pull up.  
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.  
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.  
Spring C  
To replace knob, locate the groove in each side of  
the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring  
clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded  
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear  
groove on the knob stem.  
e
Glass Control  
The glass control panel on your cooktop has been tempered to withstand  
sudden temperature changes during cooking. Give it the normal care you  
would give any glass material.  
While it is impact-resistant, avoid scratching it to prevent it from shattering.  
If the glass is hot, wipe up spills with a dry cloth or paper towel. When the  
surface has cooled, wash, rinse and dry it. Alternately, when the glass is  
cool, spray it with glass or window cleaner. Avoid the use of cleaning  
powders or harsh abrasives that may scratch the surface.  
Surface Units  
Spatters and spills burn away when coils are  
heated. At the end of the meal, heat soiled surface  
units at HI. Let soil burn off for about one minute,  
then switch surface units to OFF.  
Avoid getting any cleaning materials on the coils. If  
you do, wipe off with a damp paper towel before  
heating the surface unit.  
Clean the area under the drip  
often.  
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. To  
make cleaning easier, tilt-lock units lift up and lock in  
the up position, and plug-in units are removable.  
CAUTION: Be sure all controls are turned to OFF  
and surface units are cool before attempting to lift or  
remove them.  
After lifting the tilt-lock unit or removing a plug-in  
unit, remove the drip pan/rings under the plug-in units  
and the trim ring and drip pan under the tilt-lock unit.  
Wipe around the edges of the surface unit opening.  
Clean the area below the unit. Rinse all washed areas  
with a damp cloth or sponge.

Canning should be done on surface units only.  
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER  
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER  
COOKWARE FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS  
OTHER THAN WATER.  
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the  
surface unit’s trim ring are not recommended for  
most surface cooking. However, when canning with  
water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter  
may be used. This is because boiling water  
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful  
to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface unit.  
Most syrup or sauce mixtures-and all types of  
frying--cook at temperatures much higher than  
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually  
harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.  
Observe Following Points in Canning  
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the  
surface unit. If your range or its location does  
not allow the canner to be centered on the cooking  
unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning  
results.  
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures  
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;  
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as  
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of  
Agriculture Extension Service.  
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use  
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often  
found in enamelware) because they don’t make  
enough contact with the surface unit and take too  
long to boil water.  
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates  
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam  
or heat, be careful when canning.  
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may  
take longer than expected, even though directions  
have been carefully followed. The process time will  
be shortened by:  
(1) using a pressure canner, and  
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating  
of large quantities of water.  
CAUTION:  
Safe canning requires that harmful  
microorganisms are destroyed and that the  
jars are sealed completely. When canning foods  
in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil  
must be maintained continuously for the required  
time. When canning foods in a pressure canner,  
the pressure must be maintained continuously for  
the required time.  
After you have adjusted the controls, it is  
very important to make sure the prescribed  
boil or pressure levels are maintained for  
the required time.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued next page)  
Lift-Up Cooktop  
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up  
soil, especially grease, may catch fire.  
To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be  
lifted up and secured with the support rod.  
Be sure all  
surface units are turned off  
before raising the cooktop. After cleaning under the  
cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth,  
lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.  
Brushed Chrome Finish (on some models)  
Porcelain Enamel Finish (on some models)  
Clean the brushed chrome top with warm,  
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but  
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.  
However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices,  
tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain  
on the finish.  
soapy water or Bon  
brand cleanser and  
immediately dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take  
care to dry the surface following the “grain.” To help  
prevent finger marks after cleaning, spread a thin film  
of baby oil on the surface. Wipe away excess oil with  
a clean, soft cloth.  
Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which  
may scratch the enamel.  
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a  
dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.  
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and  
water. Rinse well.  
For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash  
with soap and water after the surface has cooled.  
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.  
CLEANING GUIDE  
NOTE: Let cooktop parts cool before touching or handling.

MATERIALS TO USE GENERAL DIRECTIONS  
Clean with soapy water or in dishwasher. DO NOT CLEAN IN A  
CLEANING OVEN; they will discolor. Wipe after each cooking, so unnoticed  
spatter will not “burn on” the next time you cook. To remove “burned-on”  
spatters, use any or all cleaning materials mentioned. Rub lightly with scouring  
pad to prevent scratching of surface.

Tilt-Lock Unit (on some models)  
If your cooktop is equipped  
with a 3-in-1 unit, this unit is a  
tilt-lock unit.  
Tilt-lock units cannot  
be removed.  
To reposition the tilt-lock unit:  
Replace the drip pan into the  
recess in the cooktop.  
Put the trim ring in place over the  
drip pan. The drip pan must be  
under the trim ring.  
Guide the surface unit into place  
so it fits evenly into the trim ring.  
You can lift a tilt-lock unit  
upward about 6“ and it will lock  
in the up position.  
Plug-In Units (on some models)  
To replace a plug-in unit:  
Do not lift a plug-in unit more  
than 1 inch. If you do, it may not  
lie flat on the trim ring when you  
plug it back in.  
All units except the 3-in-1 unit (on  
some models) are plug-in units.  
Place the drip pan/ring into  
the surface unit cavity found on  
top of the cooktop so the unit  
receptacle can be seen through  
the opening in the pan.  
Repeated lifting of the plug-in  
unit more than 1 inch above the  
trim ring can permanently  
damage the receptacle.  
Insert the terminals of the plug-in  
unit through the opening in the  
drip pan and into the receptacle.  
Plug-in units can be removed.  
Guide the surface unit into place  
so it fits evenly into the trim ring.  
I
CAUTION  
Do not attempt to clean  
plug-in surface units in an  
automatic dishwasher.  
Lift a plug-in unit about 1“ above  
the trim ring—just enough to grasp  
it—and you can pull it out.  
I
Drip Pan/Ring  
Do not immerse plug-in surface  
units in liquids of any kind.  
Terminals  
Do not bend the plug-in surface  
unit plug terminals.  
Do not attempt to clean,  
adjust or in any way repair the  
plug-in receptacle.
