avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to removesmoke
and odor.
•Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid
or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda,a drychemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
If appliance is installed near a window,
precautions should be taken to prevent
curtains from blowing over surface
elements.
NEVER useappliance to warm or heatthe
room. Failuretofollow this instruction can
lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or
damage to the appliance.
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Clothing could catch utensil handles or
ignite and cause burns if garment comes
in contact with hot heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid
damagetothe appliance orpossibleinjury,
do not adjust, service, repair or replace
anypartoftheappliance unlessspecifically
recommended in this guide. Referall other
servicing to a qualified technician.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other
combustible or flammable materials near
surface units or in the vicinity of this
appliance as fumes could create a fire
hazard or an explosion.

To prevent grease fires,do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking
is completed.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional
cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this manual. Do not use
eyelidcovers or stove top grills. The useof
devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result
in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of this appliance.
NEVERusealuminum foilor foilcontainers
on the cooktop. These may become very
hot. Usefoil only asdirected in this guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVEwhen
exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Do not use or store near
appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and
use procedures recommended.
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An
unattended boilovercould causesmoking
and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with
flat bottoms largeenough tocoverelement.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct
contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
Onlycertain types ofglass,glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer's instructions when using
glass.
Turn pan handle toward center ofcooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create arisk ofelectric shock.

NOTES:
• All foods should be covered with alid
or aluminum foil to maintain food
quality.
When warming pastries and breads,
the cover should have an opening to
allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover
foods. Plastic may melt on to the
surface and be very difficult to clean.
• Use only cookware and dishes rec-
ommended as safe for oven and
cooktop use.
Always use oven mitts when remov-
ing food from theWarming Center as
cookware and plates will be hot.
Never warm food for longer than
one hour (eggs 30 minutes), as food
quality may deteriorate.
• It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the Warming Center.
• The quantity and type of food being
held may affect the required heat
setting.
• Do not use large utensils or large
amounts of food as this may cause
. uneven heating.
Always hold food at proper food tem-
peratures. USDA recommends food
temperatures between 1400- 1700F
(except pastries).

SURFACE
N@TES:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and
odor the first few times the cooktop
is used. This is normal.
• When a control is turned on, a red
glow canbe seenthrough the glass-
ceramic surface. The element will
cycle on and off to maintain the
preset heat setting.
• The glass-ceramic surface may
appear discolored when it is hot.
This is normal and will disappear
when the surface cools.
Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat
for a period of time after the unit is
turned off. When the HOTSURFACE
light turns off, the cooking area will
be cool enough to touch.
NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop.
O00KING AREAS
The cooking areas on your range are
identified by permanent patterns on the
glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient
cooking, fit the pan sizetothe element size.
Pansshould not extend more than 1/2to
l-inch beyond the cooking area.
TIPsTO PROTECT TH E
Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 8.]
Donot useglass pans. Theymay scratch
the surface.
Donot allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning, page 8.]
Never let a pan boil dry as this will
damage the surface and pan.

o es:
_. Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the element off a few minutes
before food iscompletely cooked and
usethe retained heat tocomplete the
cooking.
Because of the heat retention
characteristics, the elements will not
respond to changes in settings as
quickly ascoil elements. In the event
of apotential boilover, remove the
pan from the cooking area.
Important: Use carewhen lifting pans
over the knobs to prevent sliding the
3anacross the knob. This could cause
surface scratching of the knob.
Toprevent the cooktop from discoloring
or staining:
• Clean cooktop after each use.
• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon
as the cooktop has cooled as these
spills may discolor the surface.
Toachieve optimum cooking performance,
useheavy-gauge,flat,smooth bottompans
that conform tothe diameter ofthecooking
area.
OA m mG OVERSIZE
All canners and large pots must have
flat bottoms and must be made from
heaw-gauge materials. This is critical
on smoothtop surfaces.Thebasemust not
be more than 1 inch larger than the ele-
ment.
When canners and pots do not meet these
standards, cooking times may be longer,
and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller
bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the High heat set-
ting only until the water comes to a
boi or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that
maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat
is not turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.
WoK O00K NG
Usea flat bottom wok for optimum results.
Use caution when removing wok from
cooktop, handles could be hot.
