Before Using Your Cooktop:
1. Read all instructions before using your cooktop unit. If you have questions please call us
at 800-725-7711 between 9am and 5pm EST.
2. Insure proper installation and servicing. Have the cooktop installed by a qualified
electrician. All cooktops must be grounded for the controls to function. Improper
installation could destroy your electronic controls and void the warranty.
3. Know where your circuit breaker or fuse box is located and mark the cooktop location.
4. Do not repair or replace any part of the unit unless specifically recommended in the
Installation or Use and Care manual. All other servicing should be performed by a
qualified technician.
Safety Precautions:
1. Use the unit only for it’s intended purpose.
2. Never use the unit to heat or warm the room.
3. Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker.
4. When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cord of the
appliance does not come into contact with the burner area.
5. Do not leave children unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop or the area around the cooktop.
6. Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop. They could
be seriously injured in attempting to reach these items.
7. Do not store items on the unit.
8. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come into contact with, or
close proximity to the burners while in operation. Fabric may ignite and cause personal
injury. For personal safety, wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while cooking.
9. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing surface areas to
flammable materials.
10. Always use dry pot holders when removing utensils from the burners. Wet or damp pot
holders can cause steam burns. Do not let pot holders touch the heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

11. WARNING : Clean the cooktop with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking surface can result in steam burns and may damage the surface of
the cooktop. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
12. Be sure all controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using aerosol cleaners.
The chemicals used in aerosol sprays may be flammable.
13. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the unit.
14. Never leave the unit unattended while cooking. Very hot oils can cause fire.
15. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother the
flames or use a dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
16. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
17. If high settings are used, remain near the unit to monitor for flammable splattering grease
and boil over.
18. WARNING: Glazed Cooking Utensils- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
19. WARNING: Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended Over
Adjacent Surface Units- 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 inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
20. Use the proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
21. Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the element off.
22. WARNING: Do Not Cook on A Broken Cooktop. If the cook-top should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
23. Keep any venting filters clean to avoid grease fires and maintain good venting.
24. Do not store or use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this appliance.
25. IMPORTANT: Verify that meat and poultry has been cooked to an internal
temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for meat and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry to
protect against food borne illnesses.
26. Avoid scratching your ceramic glass. Rings, other jewelry and sharp metal objects may
scratch your cooktop.

Safety Features
Intentional Touch™: When no burners are activated, touching multiple keys at the same
time will not initiate any functions. This prevents un-intentional or accidental use by children or
pets. When burners are activated, a multiple key touch that includes the off key for the activated
burner will deactivate that burner. Should this happen, simply use the recall function to
regain your previous setting.
Automatic Lock Feature: To operate the cooktop it must first be unlocked by touching the
lock key for two seconds. This is an added feature to protect against misuse. If the cooktop
has not been used for a period of 10 minutes after all burners have been shut off, the cooktop will
automatically re-enter lock mode. If you find the Automatic Lock unnecessary, you may disable
it by touching the lock key and the recall key at the same time for three seconds.
One Touch Off : Touching the lock key for one second will deactivate all burners. This is
useful if you have an emergency or if you need to leave the cooktop for an unknown period of
time to either answer the door, the phone, or deal with a child for example. The recall key is
useful in regaining your settings after the situation has been handled.
Hot-lights: 3/8” hot-lights are located at the bottom of each burner to indicate that the burner
is too hot to touch. The lights will remain on until the glass is safe to touch, even after the burner
has been turned off.
Limit Switches: Limit switches are located in each of the radiant ribbon burners. In the event
that the glass above the burner reaches an unacceptable temperature the limit switch will cycle
the burner off briefly.
Water Control: Nearly all of the current touch control systems are unable to operate through
even a film of water. This is not the case with the Dial Series touch controls. In the event that
you spill water over the controls, the keys will still be usable. In the event that you spill a
substance that is conductive in nature (salted water, for example) the off key of each burner and
the lock key will still function. This eliminates the panic of not being able to operate your unit in
the event of a spill.
Safe Mode: This feature is intended for demonstration purposes in a showroom or model
home. Entering safe mode by touching the ‘0’ and the ‘H’ simultaneously for 5 seconds allows
the controls to be used but deactivates all of the burners. (fan functions remain active) This same
combination reactivates the controls.
Caldera® has strived to bring you the ultimate in safety features for your premiere electric
cooktop, while maintaining a high degree of usability. Please operate your unit sensibly and
safely, while you enjoy the advantages of a technologically advanced control to enhance your
cooking experience.

Energy Tips
Energy Saving Tips
餀 Place a utensil on the cooktop before turning on the burner.
餀 Use a lid to retain heat.
餀 Choose cookware of the proper size, material, and construction.
餀 Minimize the amount of liquid of frying oil to reduce cooking times.
餀 Use residual heat in the burner to keep foods warm or to finish up the cooking process.
餀 Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.
Cookware Tips
Because your Caldera cooktop distributes heat so evenly, you do not need to invest in special utensils.
However, it is desirable that the utensils you use maintain as much contact with the element as possible.
This serves to maximize performance and safety. We recommend the use of flat-bottomed utensils, the
same size as, or not more than 1 in diameter larger than, the element. Avoid using utensils with warped,
rounded, ridged or indented bottoms. Use flat-bottomed woks rather than round-bottomed woks. Metal
cookware is more suitable than glass because of its superior conductivity.
Cleaning and Caring For your Cooktop
Ceramic glass is tough, much tougher than ordinary glass. Nonetheless, don’t stand on it or drop heavy
objects on it from high above. The glass is resistant to extreme temperature changes. You can pour cold water
onto a hot surface without causing any damage. Please adhere to the following tips to keep your ceramic glass
cooktop looking new.
餀 Prevent damage by ensuring your cooktop is clean and dust free before heating. Also make sure that
the bottom of your cooking utensils are clean and dry.
餀 Lifting utensils rather than dragging them will prevent minor scratching to the glass.
餀 Avoid overflows by using a sufficiently large utensil. This is particularly important when cooking
with sugar. Sugars, including starch, can cause discoloration and pitting of your cooktop if not
cleaned up quickly.
餀 Keep the cooktop surface clear of plastic or aluminum wrap. It can melt and damage the cooktop.
餀 Be extremely careful not to drop plastic utensils such as spatulas on the hot surface of the glass as
these will react immediately with the glass surface causing pitting when the plastic is removed from
the glass. Any pitting caused by sugar or plastic does not weaken the structural integrity of the glass.
Daily care
First, be sure that all heat indicator lights are off and the cooktop surface is cool. Apply a small dab, about the
size of a dime, of cooktop cleaning cream in the center of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel
and work the cleaning cream on the cooktop surface as if you were cleaning a window. As a final step, wipe
the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel. Regular use of cooktop creams leaves a protective coating
on the smooth surface which helps prevent scratches and abrasions in which food particles can collect.
Clean-up for spillovers
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone
with a clean paper towel. If a spillover (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the
unit is completely cooled down and follow the instructions below ("Clean-up for burned-on spillovers"). If you
accidentally melt anything on the cooktop or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, ketchup,
tomato sauce, etc.), REMOVE THE SPILL IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper while the unit is still hot.
Use a mitt to protect your hand from potential steam burns. Scrape the major spill or melted material from the
cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit "OFF" and allow to cool before cleaning further.
After the cooktop cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, use the daily care procedure as outlined
above.
Clean-up for burned-on spillovers
First, be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and the cooktop is cool. Remove excess burned-on substance
with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at approximately a 30º angle to the cooktop and scrape the
burned-on matter off the cooktop as you would scrape paint off of a window. Next follow the daily care
procedure as outlined above.
To remove metal rub-off
It may happen, particularly if you use thin gauge metal cookware, that there will be marks on your cooktop,
resulting from metal-rub off. These marks often appear like scratches, but can be easily removed using the
procedure described above for cleaning spillovers. If the rub-off marks are especially stubborn, use the
cleaning cream together with the razor scraper, using the technique described above.
Recommended cleaning products
Following is a list of recommended cleaning products. Some window cleaning materials may contain an
ingredient that can damage the cooktop over time. We have included a way to contact these companies to find
out where you can purchase their product/s.
