IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
o Know which knob controls each surface unit.
o Clean the appJiance reguJaHy to keep aH parts free of grease that couJd catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean, Do not allowgrease to
accumulate on hood or filter, Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire, When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on, Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning,
o Use Proper Pan Size, This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different
sizes, Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit, The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing, Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency,

o UtensilHandles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units, To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of fiammabHe materiaHs, and spHHagedue to
unintentionaH contact with the utensil,
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. BoHovers cause smoking and greasy spHHovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may merit,
Protective Liners. Do not use aHuminum foil to Hne any part of the appliance, OnHyuse

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the
surface of the glass, The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area
of the surface element underneath, Make sure the diameter of the pan
matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs, 1
a2),
Heatis transferred up through the surface of the cooktopto the cookware,
Only flat-bottom cookware should be used, The type and size ofcookware,
the number of surface elements inuse and their settings are all factors that
will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface
elements, The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough
to cause burns.

element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the OFFcycle, For
efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete, This will ............................

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Recommended Settings for Surface Elements
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling,
MEDIUM HIGH (8-10) Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying,
MEDIUM (6) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and gravies; steaming
vegetables,
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking; poaching and stewing,
LOW (LO) Keep warm, melting and simmering,
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC') feature includes 5
digital display windows, The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital
setting for the 5 radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, These
settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work
except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs, 1 thru 4),
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESECcontrol provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig, 2) to Lo (Fig,
4) and OFF (Fig, 1), The settings between 9.5 and 3.0 decrease or
increase in increments of,5 (1/2), The settings between 3.0 and ! .2 are
Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of ,2(1/5) to
Lo (Figure 4_lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower
heat levels, Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to determine
the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing,
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results,

ESEC Power Failure Indicator f_essage (PF}
When the range isfirst plugged in or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted,
the ESEC control will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; See Fig, 5),After a few seconds
the "PF" message will disappear from the display,
ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE}
After using any of the single, dual or triple radiant element positions the cooktop will become
very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time.
The ESEC control monitors the temperatu re ofthe cooktop and displays the message"H E" (hot
element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.6). if the HE message
appears in the window, the control can still be turned ON again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (gnowing "E¢') at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 7). if a power failure should
occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the
surface controls.
Once the sutrace controls have been set to the OFF positions, the surface controls should return
to normal operation, ifthe surface controls do not function and the"E€' message remains in any
display after following these procedures, contact your authorized servicer for assistance.

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 Iocationsl the right and left rear
(Figs. 1 & 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Element
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting using the ESEC digital
display window to verify (Fig.3). Turn the knob to adjust
the setting as needed.
3. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too ernaH for the surface heating area.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The
surface" Element On" indicator lights wiii glow when one
or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these
indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all surface elementsare turned off. Also,
the HE message will appear inthe displayafter turning the
control knob to 0 FF ifthe cooktop isstill hot and remain on
until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
