SAFETY & WARNINGS

5
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 sizes.
Select cookware has flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of
undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in the
ignition of clothing. Proper sizing of
cookware to burners will also
improve efficiency.
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.
DO NOT COOK ON A BROKEN
COOKTOP. If the cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
NEVER use your cooktop for
warming or heating the room.
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.
Extreme caution SHOULD be
exercised when using cookware or
bakeware constructed of anything
other than ovenproof metal or
glass.
DO NOT place any of the
following materials in the oven:
cardboard, plastic, paper, or
anything similar.
use. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact with
areas near surface burners until they
have had sufficient time to cool down.

DUAL ZONE ELEMENT
The Dual Zone elements offer flexibility
depending on the size of the cookware. A Single
Zone element can be used in the same way as a
regular element. The Dual Zone element
combines single and dual elements and is
recommended for larger cookware, large
quantities of food, and home canning. The Dual
Zone element must have Dual Mode activated
before it can be used.
To use the Single Zone element:
1.) Push in and turn Control Knob from the
OFF position to anywhere between LO and
HI to adjust cooking temperature.
2.) Turn knob to OFF when finished.
To activate DUAL MODE for the Dual Zone
element:
1.) Push in and turn the Control Knob
clockwise from the OFF position, past HI /
DUAL MODE position, towards the
symbol (See Knob Diagram).
2.) The Control Knob will click then retract
back to the HI / DUAL MODE position;
Dual Mode is now activated.
3.) Use the Control Knob to anywhere
between LO and HI to adjust cooking
temperature.
4.) To deactivate Dual Mode, turn the Control
Knob to the OFF position. You may then
restart the burner to use the Single Zone
element.
For best High heat performance, match the
burner to cookware size.
For best Low heat or Simmer performance,
match cookware to the largest cooking area ring
and use a single ring for desired performance.

cook foods directly on the cooktop.
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface
cooking area may not glow red when an element is on; this is normal. The burner will cycle on
and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again,
even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. It is normal for the
surface of the light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking
areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and
provide the evenest heating. On cooktops with light-colored ceramic glass, soils and stains
may be more visible and may require more cleaning and attention. A cooktop cleaner and a
cooktop scraper are recommended. For more information, see "Care & Maintenance", Page
12.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the
cooktop could crack the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop
cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass
could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as
possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts,
remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are
allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and
permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum
or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave
scratches or marks on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could
leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic
or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

B.) Cookware/canner
C.) ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat
conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware
with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented
bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results. Determine flatness by placing
the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no
space or light should be visible between it
and the cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented
bottoms or small expansion channels can be
used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are
clean and dry before using them. Residue and
water can leave deposits when heated.

COOKWARE
CAUTION!:Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or
surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid and the
material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core
or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks
on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which
affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base
material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics:
Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best
for most cooking tasks.
Heats slowly and evenly.
Good for browning and frying.
Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
instructions.
Heats slowly, but unevenly.
Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Heats very quickly and evenly.
Follow cookware manufacturer’s
instructions.
Use on low heat settings.
See stainless steel or cast iron.
Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminum or
copper on stainless steel provides
even heating.

HOME CANNING
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements, or
surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric
cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface
cooking area or element.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements, or surface burners at the
same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
For more information on home canning, contact your local agricultural department; companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

IMPORTANT!: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
General Cleaning
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
Ceramic Glass Cleaning
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to avoid streaking and
staining. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers,
chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.
Light to moderate soil: Paper towels or clean damp sponge.
Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)
oCooktop Scraper: Clean while the cooktop is still warm. Wear heat-resistant oven
mitts while doing so.
oCooktop Polishing Creme and clean damp paper towel: Clean as soon as cooktop
has cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth.
Continue rubbing until white film disappears.
Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration: Use Cooktop Polishing Creme or
nonabrasive cleanser; rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or soft cloth.
Continue rubbing until white film disappears.
Burned-on soil: Use Cooktop Polishing Creme and Cooktop Scraper; rub creme into soil
with damp paper towel. Hold scraper as flat as possible on surface and scrape. Repeat
for stubborn spots. Polish entire cooktop with creme and paper towel.
Metal marks from aluminum and copper: Use Cooktop Polishing Creme; clean as soon
as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft
cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. The marks will not totally disappear
but after many cleanings become less noticeable.
Tiny scratches and abrasions: Use Cooktop Polishing Creme; rub creme into surface
with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.
Scratches and abrasions do not affect cooking performance and after many cleanings
become less noticeable.
Cooktop Knob Cleaning
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position. On some models, do not
remove seals under knobs. To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner, and do not soak knobs.
Soap and water
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.
Dishwasher
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.
