IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
,Knowwhich touch key pads 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 allow grease
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 wilt 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
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 appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short
circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
cooktop use.
Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned
frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

Safety 7
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

FigJ- 30"Model-Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant and induction 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 & 2).
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 cool, ware, 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.

Fig. I
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop
surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in
order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If your not sure, use a
magnet to test whether the cookware type wilt work. If a magnet sticks
to the bottom of the cook'ware, the material type is correct for Induction
cooking (See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop
surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter
the overall appearance of the coot<top. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface
difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The 2 Induction Cooking
Zones available on the Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be
used at each location (Fig, 2). The inner ring of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size, The pan bottom
must FULLY"cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine
the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware of the
cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than ½"
beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone (See example in Fig. 2).
The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the
bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trims (Shown in Fig.
2).
NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on
any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the affected
Cooking Zone LED will display an Fcode and the pan will not heat.

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow all the recommendations
for using cookware as shown in Fig. 1, page 15.
Also remember to:
•Use cook"ware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking (See Fig. 1, page 14).
• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better
heat distribution allowing for more even cooking
results.
. The pan size should match the amount of food being
prepared.
.Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring
that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use
pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning
creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. 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.

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the
surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM- Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic
glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
COPPER- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic
glass (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to
clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON- A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once
cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL- Heating characteristics will vary depending on base
material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops
GLASS- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it
may scratch the glass.
