latest edition in the United States, or CSA C22.1, Part 1 in Canada, and local code
requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package
for this appliance.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know
how to disconnect the electrical power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified
technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Never modify or alter the construction of an appliance such as removal of panels, wire
covers or any other permanent part of the appliance.
Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as
well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.

• DONOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR THESE 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 touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among
these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot
surfaces.
, Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
oWhen heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
o Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
, Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
iMPORTANT. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn offthe cooktop. Ifthe cooktop is not turned off and the power resumes, the
cooktop will begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface unit.
, Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could 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.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units of different
sizes. Select utensils having flat 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.

• 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.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

ABOUTTHECE_M(C G_SS COOKTOP
[] m [] [] m [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] m [] [] [] [] =m [] [] []
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
Figure).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and
size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use 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.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element ; :
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This
will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface burners with 4
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows (See Figure):
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;
- 1 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front
position;
- 1 triple 5, 7 or 9inch radiant elements located at the left
front position;
- 2 7 inch radiant elements located at both the center front
and rear position;
- one Bridge radiant element located between center front and
rear elements.
Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The
Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as
stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting
chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.
Recommended Settings for Surface Elements
Setting Typeof Cooking

OPE TING THEBRIDGESURFACE DIANT ELEMENT
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The cooktop is equipped with a "Bridge" surface element located at the center front and
middle positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or
oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both
portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a
single element without the Bridge.
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the Bridge element control knob. These
symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element.
The symbol _ indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (see
Figues 1 and 2). The symbol _ indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the
element will heat together (see Figures 3 and 4). You may switch from either of these
settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (see
Figure 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal
shaped cookware or clockwise (see Figure 4) for larger or
rectangularshaped cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a Figure1
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 small. Please note
that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly. Figure3
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob
to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on
and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even
though the controls are turned OFF. Figure5
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the
center rear single element (see Figure 5). Because these
element have 2 independent controls, one element, for example, can be used to cook while
the other element may be used to keep food warm.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to the
ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your appliance and it is
available in store. Clean and buffwith a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help
prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning
cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future
use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or
work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

heavyweight cookware.
. Voltage is incorrect. Be sure appliance is properly connected to the specified power
source.
Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Pans having
a flat bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy
and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods
may burn easily.
