• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERSIUNIT, GRATES ORAREAS NEARTHESE BURNERSIUNIT.
Surface burners/unit may be hot even though flames are not visible/unit is dark in color. Areas near
surface burners/unit may become hot enough to cause burns. During and a_er 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 surfaces facing the cooktop

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
•Know which knob controls each surface burnerlsurface unit. Place a pan offood on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan
.Always turn knob tothe full LITE position when igniting top burners, Visually checkthat burner has
lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil
•Use proper pan size. This cooktep can be equipped with one or more surface _nits 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 the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

Safety
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface BurnerslUnit
--To reduce the 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 surface burners.
•Never Leave Surface BurnerstUnit Unattended at High Heat Settings--Believers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum foil only
to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock,
or fire.
•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 Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface BurnedUnit Covers. _fa bumedunit is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt You will not be able to see that the burner/unit
is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners/unit because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from the bumedunit and
cause combustion problems.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
Fordeep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat istoo hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame
simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the
l_ame.

The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue
and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply
defined Adjust or clean burner ifflame isyellow-orange To clean burner, see instructions
