children should not be stored in cabinets above
a cooktop--children climbing on the cooktop
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance flom
your cooktop.
: Always keep dishtowels, dish cloths, pot holders
and other linens a safe distance mvayflom your
cooktop.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the pr(Mded installation
instructions. This appliance must be supplied
u{th the proper voltage and flequenc); and
connected to an indMdual, properly grounded
branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker
or fuse acceptable for the indicated u"attage
on the name plate.
Name plate location
Hax,e the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fllse. Mark it fbr easy
reference.
Do not lea_,e children alone--children shotfld
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They shotfld
never be allowed to sit or stand on an),
part of the appliance.
Teach children not to play _dth the controls or
an), other part of the cooktop.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the cooktop.
Alwayskeep wooden and plasdc utensils and
canned food a safe distance mvayfiom your
cooktop. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging gam_ents
while using the appliance. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surfi_ce elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only dLvpot holder_moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
flom steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot
surfi_ce elements. Do not use a towel or other
btflky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface element.
For your safbt); never use your appliance fbr
wam_ing or heating the room.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls offi Smother a
flaming pan on a surfi_ce element by covering
the pan completely u_th a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-pin-pose diT
chemical or fbam-twe extinguisher.
Naming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering xdth baking soda oi; if available,
by using a muhi-pmpose d_T chemical or
fbam-b?e fire extingadsher.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, mrn the tim on.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials acct_mlate on the cooktop.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
_ Do not touch surf`ace elements, These _
surf`aces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable mate, rials contact the _:_
surf`ace elements or areas nead)y the
surf`ace elements; allow st_ticient time
fi)r cooling first. iii}i}i
iii}i}i
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop and areas fhcing the cooktop.
}}To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container }}
should be turned toward the center
of the cooktop without extending over
any nearby surface elements.
}}Always turn the surf`ace element control to
off before remox,ing the cookware. }}
}}{Use proper pan size--select cookware
hm4ng fiat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating element. The use of }}
undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the surface element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to surf`ace }}
element will also improve efficiency.
}}Never lemre surface elements unattended at }}
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
}}Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, }}
earthemvare or other glazed containers are
suitable fbr cooktop cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature. }}
}}Keep an eye on fi)ods being fried at high
or medium-high heat settings. }}
Foods fbr flying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on flozen fbods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot tat to bubble }}
up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or
deep4at frying. Filling the pan tot) full
of fat can cause spillovers when fbod is
added.
ff a combination of oils or f`ats will be used
in flying, stir together befbre heating, or as
f`ats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating tat beyond
the smoking point.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep tat flyer. Wait until
the f`at is cool
Do not store flammable materials near
the cooktop.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the x,icinity of this or any
appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's
Manual.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or fbod on the cooktop when
not in use.
Keep cooktop clean and flee of
accumulation of grease or spillovers
which may ignite.
Never heat unopened fbod containers.
Pressure buiMup may make container
burst and cause injury.
Never leave jars or cans of tat drippings
on or near your cooktop.
Never use your appliance fbr warming or

Selectingtypesofcookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Porcelain Enamel on Cast iron:
recommendedif bottomof pan is coated
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridgedorwarpedbottomsare
notrecommended.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cool<top, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight Numinum shoukt not
be used.
CopperBottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cool<top is
cleaned immediately. Howevet; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheamd metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanen@ stain the cool<top
if not remcwed immediamly.
Porcelain EnamelonSteel:
not recommended
Headng empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cool<top glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cool<top.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the
suIf_lce.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor perfbrInance. May scratch die
suIf_lce.
Cast iron:
not recommended--unless designedspecifically
forglasscooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cool<top smf_ce.
NOTE:Followallcookwaremanufacturer'srecommendationswhenusinganytypeofcookwareonthe
ceramiccooktop.
Do notplacewetPans
ontheglasscooktop.
Donotusewokswith support
ringsontheglasscooktop.
For Best Results
i> Place only dry pans on the surfitce
elements. Do not place lids on the
smf_tce elements, particularly wet
lids.
{}i}Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surf_ce elements.
. We recommend that you use only a
fiat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same
diameter as the surf_ce element
to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cool<ware such as
pressme cookers, deep-fi_t flyers, etc.
All cool<ware must have fiat bottoms
and be the correct size.
Use flat-bottomed woks

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are

Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond l" of the _]
surf_tce element's circle are not
recommended for most surf_ce
cooking. Howevex; when canning with

diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures
(even under pressure) are not harmflfl

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-

IARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR

Y] Be sure the canner fi[s over the
center of the smf_ce element.
ff your cooktop or its location
does not Nlow the canner to be
cenmred on the surfi_ce element,
use smaller diamemr pots for good
canning results.
Flat-bottomed canne_ must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamebvare) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surfi_ce elements and rake
a king time to boil wam_:
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of smam. To avoid burns
flom smam or heat, be carefld
when canning.
NOTE:If your house has low voltage,
