IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUC-
TIONS
1. Proper installation. Be sure
your cooktop is properly in-
stalled and grounded by a
qualified technician.
2. Never use your cooktop for
warming or heating the
room.
3. Do not leave children alone.
Children should not be left
alone in area where cooktop
is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the cooktop.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-
fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while
using the cooktop.
5. User servicing. Do not repair
or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically
recommended in this man-
ual. All servicing should
be referred to a qualified
technician.
6. Flammable materials should
not be stored in or near
cooktop.
7. Do not use water on grease
fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Smother flaming pan on
cooktop by covering with
well fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease

guished with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose
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.
Use proper pan size. This
cooktop is equipped with one
or more elements of different
size. Select utensils with flat
bottoms large enough to
cover the element. The use
of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the ele-
ment to direct contact and
may result in ignition of cloth-
ing. Proper relationship of
utensil to element will also
save energy.
Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for
cooktop use without break-
ing due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Check manufacturers’ rec-
ommendation before using.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

11 Utensil handles should be
turned inward and not extend
over adjacent elements. To
reduce risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should
be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent
elements.
12. Never leave elements unat-
tended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
13. Do not immerse or soak re-
movable heating elements.
Heating elements should
never be immersed in water.
14. Make sure drip bowls are
in place. Absence of these
bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or compo-
nents underneath to
damage.
15. Protective liners. Do not use
aluminum foil or line cooktop
drip bowls, except as sug-
gested in the manual. Im-
proper installation of these
bowls may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
16. Do not touch surface ele-
ments or areas near ele-
ments. Surface elements
may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near
surface elements may be-
come hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials
contact surface elements or
areas near elements until
they have had sufficient
time to cool.
17. CAUTION: Do not store
items attractive to children in
cabinets above a range or on
the backguard of a cooktop
-children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could
be seriously injured.

CARE AND
CLEANING
Several finishes have been used
on this cooktop, and some re-
quire special attention to clean-
ing. To extend the life of your
cooktop and keep it looking new,
follow the instructions below on
cleaning the parts of your
cooktop.
NOTE: BE SURE ALL COOK-
TOP PARTS ARE COOL BE-
FORE CLEANING.
CONTROL KNOBS-Turn
control knobs to the “OFF” posi-
tion. Remove by firmly pulling
straight up off the switch stem.
Wash in warm, soapy water. Dry
and replace knobs, making sure
“OFF” is at the 12 o’clock
position.
TEMPERED GLASS CON-
TROL PANEL- Remove con-
trol knobs. Clean with mild glass
cleaner or with clear warm water
only. Soaps and detergents will
leave a filmy residue.
COOKTOP ELEMENTS-The
elements can be wiped with a
slightly damp cloth, if necessary.
$$Sf;an be “burned off,” see
TO REMOVE ELEMENTS:
l Always be certain that the con-
trol for the element is at OFF
position and the coils are cool
before attempting to remove
the element.
l Raise the element, at point op-
posite receptacle, about 1 inch
above the drip bowl and pull it
away from the receptacle.
l Carefully pull the element ter-
minals through the opening in
the drip bowl. After removing
the element, remove the drip
bowl to clean.
l Wipe around edges of the
opening in the cooktop with a
sudsy cloth and wipe clean
with damp cloth or sponge.

CAUTIONS:
l DO NOT immerse elements in
water or other liquid, or wash in
dishwasher.
l DO NOT attempt to clean ele-
ments or chrome-plated drip
bowls in a self-cleaning oven.
l DO NOT cover drip bowls with
aluminum foil.
l Handle elements with care so
as not to bend the terminals.
The terminals are sturdy and
will not damage easily if han-
dled with reasonable care. If
the terminals are damaged or
bent, the element should be
replaced.
l DO NOT attempt to clean, ad-
just, or in any way repair the
element receptacle. If a large
amount of liquid should acci-
dentally spill and collect inside
the receptacle, call for service.
TO REPLACE ELEMENT:
l Place chrome-plated drip bowl
into the opening in the cooktop
so the receptacle can be seen
through the side opening in the
bowl.
l Insert terminals of elements
through opening in drip bowl
and into receptacle.
l Guide the element into the re-
ceptacle opening. Push ele-
ment all the way forward so it
fits snugly in the receptacle. To
make sure element sits flat,
place palm of hand flat on top
of element and exert a slight
downward force.
CHROME-PLATED DRIP
BOWLS- Wipe up any spills as
soon as possible to prevent
“baked-on” spatters. Clean in
dishwasher, or in warm, soapy
water, then rinse and wipe dry.
“Baked-on” soil may be removed
by rubbing lightly with a soap-
filled scouring pad.
NOTE: Discoloration of drip
bowls may occur from heat re-
flected from pans too large for
the element. This discoloration is
permanent and cannot be re-
moved. Be sure pans used do
not extend more than one inch
over the edge of the element.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

REMOVABLE GRILL AND
GRIDDLE - Empty grease from
griddle if necessary. Wash in
warm, soapy water, rinse and
dry thoroughly, or wash in dish-
washer. Difficult soils may be
scoured with cleanser or soap-
filled pad. The Grill and Griddle
may be cleaned in a self-clean-
ing oven, however, they may
discolor.
BLACK PORCELAIN FLAVOR
GENERATOR INSERT, DRIP
PAN AND GRILL/GRIDDLE
COVER - Wash in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly,
or wash in dishwasher. Difficult
soils may be scoured with
cleanser or soap-filled pad. The
porcelain Flavor Generator and
Drip Pan may be cleaned in a
self-cleaning oven.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL
COOKTOP FINISH -The por-
celain enamel used on your
cooktop is acid resistant, but not
acid proof. Therefore, if acid
foods such as citrus juices, to-
matoes, rhubarb or vinegar, as
well as alcohol or milk, are
spilled on the porcelain enamel,
they should be wiped up immedi-
ately and not permitted to remain
on the surface as they may af-
fect the finish. Use a paper towel
or dry cloth on warm surfaces.
After the porcelain enamel has
cooled, you may wipe it with
warm, soapy cloth; then wipe
clean with damp cloth or sponge
and dry.
BRUSHED CHROME COOK-
TOP FINISH - Wash with warm,
soapy water and rinse. Dry with
soft cloth. Never use steel wool,
abrasives, ammonia, acids or
commercial oven cleaners which
may damage finish.
Any mild glass cleaner will re-
move fingermarks or smears
from the top.
Remember to clean with the
grain to avoid possible
scratches.
NOTE: Discoloration of the por-
celain enamel or brushed
chrome finish may occur from
heat reflected from pans too
large for the burner. This discol-
oration is permanent and cannot
be removed. Be sure pans used
do not extend more than one
inch over the edge of the burner.
