hot enough to cause burns even
though they are dark in color,
During and after use, do not touch

SAFETY
° ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used
for cooktop cooking. Make sure
the cookware you choose to use
is designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the
sudden temperature change..
oALWAYS USE care when
touching cooking zones. They
will retain heat after the cooktop
has been turned off..
- COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the
bottom and large enough to
cover the heating zone being
used.. Undersized utensils
expose the heating zone and
may result in direct contact
or ignition of clothing. The
proper-size utensil will also
improve efficiency.
* NEVER LEAVE cooking zones
unattended at high settings..
Boilovers result in smoking
or greasy spills which could
catch fire.
, NEVER cook on a broken
cooktop; cleaning solutions and
spillage could penetrate it and
create the risk of electrical shock
or fire. Contact a qualified
technician for repairs.
° ALWAYS TURN utensil handles

of burns, ignition, unintended
contact and spillage..
o
NEVER use your appliance for

moving a pan of hot fat.. Wait
until the fat is cool.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THiS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home

Never use water on a grease
fire; it will only spread the
flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface elements,
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid, use baking soda, or

OPERATION
Radiant CooktopCooking
Before using your new radiant
cooktop, clean it with the Cooktop
Cleaning Creme ® This will leave a
protective coating
NOTE: On models with white
glass-ceramic, it is normal for the
surface to appear discolored when
cooking zones are hot. This is
temporary and wil! disappear "as
the glass cools
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at .your local retail store
The cooking zones are shown by
the outline on the glass. Each
cooking zone is turned on by the
knob matching that zone's location
(for example, the right front knob
controls the right front zone)
A Hot Cooktop Indicator Light will
glow when surface temperature
exceeds 150°F, and will remain on
until the surface has cooled to
approximately 150°F
4_
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
1. Be sure the canner is centered
over the zones
2. Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom
3. Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources These are
available from manufacturers such
as Ball ®and Kerr ®, and the
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Use caution, while canning, to
prevent burns from steam or heat
Use pans and woks that are flat on the
bottom. The size of the pan should be
the same size as the zone used when
cooking.
1"
Pans should be flat on bottom, 7

OPERATION
RadiantCooktopCooking
If you don't
know if your
cookware is
flat on the
bottom, try this test Turn your pan
upside down on the countertop, and
place the edge of a ruler flat against
the surface of the pan Rotate the
ruler in a full circle, CheCking as you
turn for any space between the two
surfaces The bottom of the pan and
the edge of the ruler should fit flush
against each other all the way
across
Stainless Steel: Highly recommended
for use with your new cooktop.
Especially good with a clad bottom
Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum
cookware recommended.
Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that
is completely covered with porcelain
enamel is recommended. Cast iron
that is not covered with porcelain
enamel may scratch the glass-ceramic
surface of the cooktop 1.
Copper Bottom: Has good
performance, but it can leave a residue
on the cooktop surface if allowed to
boil dry.
Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware: Usable.
Check for rough edges or burrs, which 2.
may scratch the cooktop surface.
When the knobs are turned on,
coils beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil It will take a few moments for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen below the surface
of the cooktop (on all zones except
the warmer zone).
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
o The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat,
o The pan is off center
o There is no pan on the unit
