You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

•User Servicing – Do not repair or

replace any part of the cooktop

unless specifically recommended in

the manual. All other servicing should

be referred to a qualified technician.

•Storage on Cooktop – Flammable

materials should not be stored near

surface units.

•Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –

Smother fire or flame or use dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or

damp potholders on hot surfaces may

result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Cooktop Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS

OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface

units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units

may become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact surface units or areas

near units until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Among those areas are

the cooktop and surfaces facing the

cooktop.

•Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is

equipped with one or more surface units

of different size. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use

of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the heating element to direct

contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil

to burner will also improve efficiency.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils

are suitable for cooktop service without

breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned

Inward and Not Extend 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.

•Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop –

If cooktop should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers may penetrate

the broken cooktop and create a risk

of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

•Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a

wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe

spills on a hot cooking area, be careful

to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners

can produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood –

•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –

Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on hood or filter.

•When flaming foods under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating,

may spread the flame.

Home canning information

•Use flat-bottomed canners on all types

of cooktops, especially ceramic glass.

Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do

not allow good contact with the surface.

•Center the canner over the largest

coil element. Do not extend more than

one inch outside the coil element.

Large diameter canners/pans, if not

centered correctly, trap heat and can

cause damage to the cooktop.

Do not place your canner on two coil

elements at the same time.

•The type of material the canner is made

of determines the length of heating time.

Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware

materials” chart later in this section for

more information.

•When canning for long periods of time,

allow elements and the surrounding

surfaces to cool down.

•Alternate use of the coil elements between

batches or prepare small batches at a time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid,

and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to

maintain a boil or required pressure levels

in a pressure canner.

•For up-to-date information on canning,

contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office

or companies who manufacture home

canning products.

•

Keep reflector bowls clean so that they

will always reflect heat well.

•

Optional canning kit

Most water-bath or pressure canners have

large diameters. If you do canning with

them at high heat settings for long periods

of time, you can shorten the life of regular

coil elements. This can also damage the

cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for

canning, we recommend the installation of

a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905)

from your dealer or authorized service

company.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start

cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Using your Cooktop

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the coil element through the pan

material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the

best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or

ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel

or enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware

provides even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Characteristics of cookware materials

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the coil element. Cookware should not

extend more than 1 inch outside the area.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.

•Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

• For best results and greater energy

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the coil element. Cookware with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware), or dented bottoms could

cause uneven heating and poor cooking

results.

conduction from the coil element to the

cookware. Determine flatness with the

ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler across

the bottom of the cookware. Hold it up to

the light. No light should be visible under

the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all directions

and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot

coil element. The cookware could overheat,

causing damage to the cookware or the

coil element.

Caring for Your Cooktop

Coil elements and reflector bowls

Removing

3. Pull the coil element straight away

from the receptacle.

4. Lift out the reflector bowl. See the

“Cleaning chart” later in this section

for cleaning instructions.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near

this appliance.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

1. Make sure all coil elements are off and

cool before removing coil elements and

reflector bowls.

2. Push in the edge of the coil element,

opposite the receptacle. Then lift it

just enough to clear the reflector bowl.

Replacing

1. Make sure all coil elements are off and

cool before replacing coil elements

and reflector bowls.

3191536v07c26 8/27/98 9:27 AM Page 9

2. Line openings in the reflector bowl up

with the coil element receptacle.

3. Hold the coil element as level as

possible with the terminal just started

into the receptacle. Push the coil

element terminal into the receptacle.

4. When the terminal is pushed into the

receptacle as far as it will go, push

down the edge of the coil element

opposite the receptacle.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back

to the cookware on the coil elements.

They also help catch spills. When they are

kept clean, they reflect heat better and

look new longer.

If a reflector bowl changes color, some

of your cookware may not be flat enough,

or some may be too large for the coil ele-

ment. In either case, some of the heat

that is meant to go into or around cook-

ware goes down and heats the reflector

bowl. This extra heat can cause it to

change color.

Caring for your Cooktop

Control knob collars

Removing

1. Turn knobs off and pull upward to

remove. Place index finger inside

center of collar and pull firmly upward

to release.

Replacing

2. To replace, align pins on underside of

collar with holes on cooktop surface

and press down firmly.
