11. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS  
Surface Cooking  
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.  
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.  
12. 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.  
13. 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.  
14. Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may  
cause the container to explode and result in injury.  
15. 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.  
16. Do not cook 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.  
CAUTION  
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is not recommended.  
Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.  
Operating the Single Front or Rear Element  
Push in and turn the corresponding control knob left to the desired  
setting. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat  
setting. When finished, turn all controls OFF.  
17. 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 the Rear and Bridge Element  
Push in and turn the corresponding control knob right to desired  
setting. The rear element and bridge element will cycle on and off to  
maintain the desired heat setting. When finished, turn all controls to  
OFF.  
-SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-  
Hot Surface Indicator Lights  
The cooktop has hot surface indicator lights. They are located on the  
front of the glass cooktop. The hot surface indicator light will glow red  
when the corresponding element is turned on. The light will remain on  
until the corresponding element has cooled to a safe temperature.  
Before You Use Your New Cooktop  
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.

Cooking Substitute 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 and maintained properly.  
Glass Ceramic Top  
Ingredient Substitutes  
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  
Use:  
2 Tbsp. flour (thickening)  
1 whole egg  
2 egg yolks plus 1 Tbsp. water  
Rub a few drops of ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area  
using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed.  
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in  
preventing scratches and abrasions.  
1 c. whole milk  
1 c. skim milk plus 2 Tbsp. margarine  
or  
1/2 c. evaporated milk plus 1/2 c.  
water  
For heavy burned soil:  
1. Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool  
1 oz. unsweet chocolate  
1 Tbsp. baking powder  
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder plus 1 Tbsp.  
margarine  
soiled area.  
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area.  
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the  
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar plus 1/4 tsp.  
baking soda  
o
scraper at a 30 angle against the ceramic surface.  
4. 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.  
5. 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 buildup of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make  
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this  
protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more  
susceptible to staining.  
1/2 c. butter  
7 Tbsp. shortening or margarine  
1 c. dairy sour cream  
1 Tbsp. lemon juice plus 1 c.  
evaporated milk
