Coil Surface Module
Part Number JXGC53B (black)
JXBC53W (white)
This module has one 6″and one 8″coil
surface unit. The surface units and drip
pans are removable for cleaning.
Radiant Module
Part Number JXGR63B (black)
JXGR63W (white)
This module has two 7″coils beneath a
smooth glass surface. The two surface
units are shown by the outlines on the
glass. This module provides fast heat,
energy efficient operation and is easy
to clean.
Grill Module
Part Number JXGG50
With this module you can char-broil
meat indoors all year long.
Griddle Accessory
Part Number JXGL90
You must have the grill module to
use the griddle accessory.
This griddle sits directly over the grill
heating element with the grill module
removed. Fat and meat drippings will
collect in the reservoir at one end of
the griddle.
Care of Modules
Some of the modules must be cured or preconditioned
before using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should be cleaned after
each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder it is
to clean. See each module section in this guide for
specific instructions. Never immerse any module
in water.
When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories
should be stored in a clean, dry place.
Always be careful
not to drop the modules or they could be damaged.
Using Electric Surface Unit Modules
You must consider heat up and cool down times for
the surface units when determining cooking times.
Heat up and cool down times depend on the initial
temperature settings, the type of cookware used and
the amount of food being cooked.
Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the surface
unit faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the
surface unit is turned off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
•Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door or cooktop. They could damage
the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
WARNING—All ranges
can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of
the range from abnormal usage,
attach it to the wall or floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, open
the lower compartment and inspect
the device. Make sure the stability
bracket and stability mounting device are in place.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any
reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
before you push the range back against the wall.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in
this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface unit or heating element.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance away
from your range.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your range.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

Important Safety Instructions
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• Do not obstruct the vent air flow grills.
Do not put anything in them or allow anything to
spill over into them.
• Keep the grill pan clean to reduce smoking and
avoid grease fires.
• Keep the cooktop vent grills and the oven
vent unobstructed.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering with baking soda or, if available,
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the module surface units,
heating elements or the interior surface of the
oven. These surfaces 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 materials contact the module surface
units, areas nearby the module surface units or
any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the grill grates,
griddle, cooktop and areas facing the cooktop,
oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door, the edges of the
door window and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160ºF. and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180ºF. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
Oven
• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holders contact
the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the range and clean it. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your range.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
• The oven door must be closed during broiling.
Open door broiling will cause the control panel to
get very hot.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Self-Cleaning Oven
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care
Guide.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware. Do not
self-clean the modules in the oven.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Surface Cooking Modules
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit
will also improve efficiency.
• Never leave the kitchen while using the grill.
• Never leave the modules unattended at high
heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Be sure the drip pans (on some modules) and
the vent grills are not covered and are in place.
Their absence during cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.
•Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans (on some modules) or anywhere in the
oven except as described in this guide. Misuse
could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage
to the range.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
• 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 range without extending over the nearby
surface units.
• Always turn the module controls off before
removing the cookware.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the off position and all surface
units are cool before attempting to remove a
surface unit or a module.
• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet
cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot
surface.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
• Do not immerse or soak the removable
modules and surface units. Do not put them
in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the modules
in the oven.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
•Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
• Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately should your
glass cooktop become broken.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.
The cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, or rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items on top of the glass
cooktop surface when it is not in use.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
• Do not stand on the radiant glass cooktop.
The weight may cause the top to bend.

INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the
range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on
a 1/4-inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows: When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area the range will rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than
the floor covering. This will allow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
Use a 13⁄8″open end or adjustable wrench to equally
back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the
sides of the cooktop must be raised above the top of
the counter. Carefully slide the range into its
installation space. Observe that it is clearing the
countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass
measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the
oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit
level, take two readings, with the level placed
diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
Adjust the four legs carefully. The range legs should
rest on the floor. The range must not hang from the
counter.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new modular cooktop may have several types of cooking surface
units. You will notice some differences when you use each one.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times,
depends upon the type of burner or electric surface unit you are using.
The following chart will help you to understand the differences among the
various cooking surface units and how they differ from others you may
have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop Description How it Works
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right
under a glass away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the
surface. control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops
right away.
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
10

11
SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. When cooking in a
quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds—an indication that the
heat settings you selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than
switching to a lower setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the knob
in and turn in
either direction
to the desired
heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to
set only from the OFF position.
When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may
be turned without pushing it in.
Be sure you turn the control to
OFF when you finish cooking.
The surface unit “ON” indicator
light will glow when ANY heat
on any module surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water
to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at a medium
boil or simmer.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to
tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to
melt butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.
Downdraft Cooktop Modules Vent System
The range has its own internal downdraft venting system for use with
module cooking. Cooking vapors and smoke are vented through a wall duct
to the outside of your home. The blower is floor installed in the lower
compartment.
The blower will automatically turn on to keep internal range parts cool.
The blower will come on automatically on low speed during any grilling
operation.
Use the fan switch on the front panel to change the blower speed. A low
setting is recommended for broiling or self-cleaning.

COIL SURFACE UNIT MODULE
How to Insert the Module
1. Be sure the controls are turned to OFF. To install
the module, position the electrical plug to face
the rear wall of the cooktop opening. There you
will see the electrical receptacle. (A receptacle is
available in either cooktop opening.) Let the
leading corners of the module rest on the cooktop
surface.
2. Carefully slide the module plug toward the
receptacle until plug is engaged completely
in receptacle. Allow the module to fit into the
cooktop opening.
3. Lower the inside edge of the module into
the cooktop opening until it is flush with the
cooking surface.
How to Remove the Module
Be sure the entire module surface is cool before
attempting to remove the module. The coils of the
module will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off. Be careful not to get burned on a module
that has not had sufficient time to cool after use.
1. Lift the finger tab at the outside edge of the module
until the module base clears the cooktop opening.
2. Hold the module by the front edges. Carefully pull
the module forward until the module plug is
disengaged from the receptacle.
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surface unit more than one inch.
Always read and follow the cookware manufacturer’s
instructions on cookware use.

Coil Surface Unit Module
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that
have support rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place can be
dangerous. Placing the
ring over the surface unit
will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the
brushed chrome cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.

Coil Surface Unit Module Questions and Answers
Q. May I can foods and preserves on my coil
surface units?
A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning
purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions
and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner
is flat-bottomed and fits over the center of the coil
surface unit module. Since canning generates large
amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from
steam or heat. Canning should only be done on the
surface units.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in the Care and
Cleaning section.
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an
oriental wok, on any surface unit?
A. Cookware without a flat surface is not
recommended. The life of the module surface
units can be shortened and the cooktop can be
damaged from the high heat needed for this type
of cookware. A special flat-bottomed wok can be
used safely.
Q. Why am I not getting the heat I need from my
surface units even though I have the controls on
the correct heat setting?
A. After turning the surface units off and making
sure they are cool, check to make sure the plug-in
units are securely plugged in.
Q. Why does my cookware tilt when I place it on
the surface unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not flat. Make sure the
feet of the surface units are sitting on the inside
rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is flat on the
cooktop surface.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware
coming off?
A. If you set the surface unit coil higher than required
for the cookware material and leave it, the finish
may smoke, crack, pop or burn depending on the
pot or pan.
Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than
required for a long period of time, with small
amounts of dry food, you can damage the finish.

RADIANT MODULE
How to Insert the Module
1. Be sure the controls are turned to OFF. To install
the module, position the electrical plug to face
the rear wall of the cooktop opening. There you
will see the electrical receptacle. A receptacle is
available in either cooktop opening. Allow the
leading corners of the module to rest
on the cooktop surface.
2.
Carefully slide the module plug toward the receptacle
until plug is engaged completely in the receptacle.
Allow the module to fit into the cooktop opening.
3. Lower the inside edge of the module into the cooktop
opening until it is flush with the cooktop surface.
How to Remove the Module
Be sure the entire module surface is cool before
attempting to remove the module. The glass surface
of the module will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off. Be careful not to get burned on
a module that has not had sufficient time to cool
after use.
1. Lift the finger tab at the outside edge of the module
until the module base clears the cooktop opening.
2. Hold the module by the front edges. Carefully
pull the module forward until the module plug
is disengaged from the electrical receptacle. Store
the module carefully after cleaning.
General Information About Radiant Modules
The radiant module features heating coils beneath a
smooth glass ceramic surface. The two surface units
are shown by outlines on the glass.
• When a surface unit is activated, coils beneath the
unit radiate heat through the glass to the cookware.
The red glow of the coils will be instantly visible
through the glass. It will take the surface unit on the
surface a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles
on and and off to maintain your selected control
setting. The coils have temperature limiters to
prevent runaway temperatures.
• If you are storing modules, do not stack them or
store other materials on top of them, as damage to
the glass ceramic surface of the radiant module is
likely. Be careful not to damage or bend the
electrical plug.
• Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to the glass module. An overheated copper pot
will leave a residue that will permanently stain
the module.
• Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear
as small scratches. They can be removed with Cook
Top Cleaning Creme and a razor scraper.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,
flat cookware will minimize the cycling.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.

Radiant Module
Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability, and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be
removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Glass-ceramic: Usable, but not recommended.
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Stoneware: Usable, but not recommended.
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Cast Iron: Usable, but not recommended.
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Copper Bottom:
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
Porcelain/enamel:
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and
fuse to the surface.
How to Check Pan Performance
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
spillovers burning onto the cooktop.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of
your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside
down on the countertop,
place a ruler flat against
the pan surface. The
bottom of the pan and the
straight edge of the ruler
should fit flush against each other all the way across.
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms
are not recommended.
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution
across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water
in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the
location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good
flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles
localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate
uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if
the cookware is either smaller or larger than the
surface unit.
• We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the
same diameter as the surface
unit to insure proper contact.
• Do not use woks that have
support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on radiant
surface units.
• Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size. The cookware should also be covered,
if applicable to the cooking process.

CAUTION
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch resistant, not scratch-proof.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Plastic and Sugary Spillovers
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups)
or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of
your module (not covered by the warranty) unless the
spill is removed while still hot.
Special care should be taken when removing hot
substances. Follow the instructions in the Care and
Cleaning section carefully.
Deep Fat Frying Wok Cooking
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep the
range and hood clean from grease.
We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your local
retail store.

GRILL MODULE
How to Assemble the Grill Module
To insert the grill:
1. Be sure the controls for the cooktop grill are OFF.
2. Place the grill sheet in the center of the well.
3. Plug the grill pan into the well.
4. Place the deflector on the grill pan.
5. Grasp the grill element with both hands near the
plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as
possible, push the plug firmly into the receptacle
to insure complete contact. The element should lie
flat and rest on the grill pan.
6. Place the two grill grids into the opening in the
cooktop over the grill element.

General Information About the Grill Module
Use the grill for preparing meals with the appearance
and flavor of commercially char-broiled meats. The grill
must be very hot for this type of cooking and smoke and
spatter is to be expected. Be sure to use your venting
system when grilling to help minimize smoke.
• The fan will automatically come on at low fan speed
while the grill is in use and cannot be turned off. You
may turn it to high fan speed.
•
Do not use pots or pans on your grill. You could be
seriously burned by heat from the exposed surfaces
of the grill when reaching for the pot handle. Pots
or pans may trap heat from the grill and result in
damage to the grill grates or grill finish.
• The grill must be preheated to get the grill
components hot enough to sear the meat, sealing
in the juices. Preheat the grill on HI for 5 to 10
minutes, then turn back to the recommended setting.
• NEVER LEAVE THE KITCHEN while grilling
meats or other juicy foods. Fats and juices drip
on the hot grill element and may cause flame-ups.
When grilling, you should always be present to
control flame-ups so they do not get out of hand.
• NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
• To control flame-ups, set the heat setting at LO
rather than OFF. If you have a bad flame-up
and there is danger of the fire spreading, take
the following steps immediately:
1. Turn the grill controls to OFF, and set the fan
switch to HI.
2. Use a long-handled utensil to remove the food
from the grill. Be careful not to get burned.
The fire should start to go out. If it does not, smother
the flames by covering the entire grill module with
a large cookie sheet, a lid from a large roasting
pan, the griddle or the module cover.
• Never try to use charcoal or flavored wood chips
in the well under the grill grids. Use of charcoal
indoors without proper ventilation produces
carbon monoxide that can be fatal. Also, burning
charcoal in the well will permanently damage the
porcelain coating in the well.
• Never line the grill grid or the porcelain enameled
grease well with aluminum foil. Doing so may block
drainage of grease, causing excessive smoking, fire
or module damage.
NOTE: The non-stick grill grids must be preconditioned
before using them for the first time. To precondition,
first wash them in soap and water and dry. Then use a
paper towel to apply a small amount of cooking oil to
the grids. Remove excess oil with a clean paper towel.

(continued)
NOTE: It is recommended that you have a dry chemical, foam or Halon
type fire extinguisher where you can easily reach it in case of a cooking
fire. NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE as it is likely to spread
the flames. Read the instructions on the extinguisher ahead of time and be
prepared to follow them in case of a cooking fire.
Grill Tips
• Do not leave the grill unattended while it is in use.
• Remove accumulated grease from the grill pan after
each use to lessen smoking and odors. Grease buildup
can become a fire hazard.
• The grates should be oiled or sprayed with a
non-stick, salt-free vegetable oil before cooking
to prevent sticking.
• Preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes at HI heat setting,
then turn to the desired setting for cooking.
• Trim the fat from meats before placing them on the
grill. This will reduce smoking and lessen grease
buildup in the grease well.
• Allow space between foods when placing them on
the grill. Air needs to circulate around the food for
best cooking results.
• Occasionally rearrange foods on the grill to prevent
sticking and provide better browning.
• Season meats after cooking rather than before—
salt can draw out juices and dry out meat. Use tongs
to turn and rearrange meats on the grill; forks will
pierce the meat and release juices.
Grill Questions and Answers
Q. When cooking many individual foods, what can
I do to insure that foods will cook evenly?
A. When cooking foods of various sizes and
thicknesses, start larger or thicker pieces first
and add quicker cooking, smaller pieces later.
Press the meat lightly to lie flat on the grill.
Slash the fat on the edges of steaks and chops
to prevent curling. Break the joints of split
chickens so they will lie flat.
Q. My grilled meats sometimes come out
drier than they should. What can I do
to help prevent this?
A. Season meats after cooking rather than before—
salt can draw out juices and dry out meat. Use
tongs to turn and rearrange meats on the grill;
forks will pierce the meat and release juices.
Q. I follow the cooking times suggested, but my
foods don’t get done properly. Is there
something wrong with my grill?
A. Probably not. Suggested cooking times should be
used only as a general guide. Variables in food can
change cooking times required.
Q. How can I keep barbecued meats from
developing an unattractive burned look
and taste?
A. Sauces containing sugar will often burn if used
during the entire cooking time. If your favorite
sauce contains sugar, try adding it only during
the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time for
best results.
Q. Can my grill be switched to the other side
of the range?
A. Yes. These interchangeable modules can be used
on either the right or left side of the cooktop.
When inserting or removing a module, take care
not to force the connection or exert undue pressure
which could damage the electrical contacts.
Additional modules can be purchased from your
dealer to double your grill/griddle capacity or to
add two more coil surface units.
Q. Foods cooked on my grill are not browning as
much as I would like. What could cause this?
A. A longer preheating and grill time may be
necessary to achieve the desired results.

GRIDDLE ACCESSORY
Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface
for meats, pancakes or other foods usually prepared in a frying pan or
electric skillet. You can also use the griddle as a warming tray by using
a low-heat setting.
How to Assemble the Griddle Accessory
1. Be sure the controls are OFF.
2. Plug the grill pan into the well.
3. Grasp the grill element with both hands near the
plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as
possible, push the plug firmly into the receptacle
to insure complete contact. The element should lie
flat and rest on the grill pan.
4. Place the griddle into the opening in the cooktop
with the reservoir at the back. The griddle will rest
on the ledge of the grill pan.
Foods placed at the back of the griddle may cook
faster than those at the front. This is because the
griddle is designed to slope towards the reservoir
placing it closer to the heating element at the rear.
NOTE: When properly placed, the griddle sits
slightly above the cooktop. This, and the open
spaces on the sides and rear of the griddle, prevent
temperatures from getting too high.
Grill Element
Using the Griddle
The non-stick griddle must be preconditioned before
using it for the first time. To precondition, first wash
the griddle in soap and water and dry. Then use a
paper towel to apply a small amount of cooking oil to
the griddle. Remove excess oil with a clean paper towel.
Preheat the griddle as recommended in the Griddle
Cooking Guide. After preheating for the recommended
amount of time, apply a small amount of oil or butter.
Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle
at HI for more than 10 minutes without food can
damage the non-stick coating.
The fan will automatically come on at low fan speed
while the griddle is in use and cannot be turned off.
You may turn it to high fan speed.
How to Remove the Griddle Accessory
Be sure the controls are OFF and the griddle is cool.
To remove the griddle:
1. Lift the front edge of the griddle a bit to let any
excess fat or oil drain to the back.
2. Remove the griddle.
3. Grasp the element with both hands on either side
of the plug.
4. Raise the opposite side of the element just enough
to clear the well, then pull away from the receptacle.
The element will not sit level when replaced if it is
forced too far upward when removed.
5. Remove the grill pan.
