It is strongly recommended that a CLASS ABC or CLASS K fire
extinguisher be kept near the range in an easily accessible location, and
that household members are familiarized in advance with its operating
instructions.
Never leave cooktop heating elements unattended. Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over the front of the counter top or over adjacent cooktop heating
elements.
Do not cook on a broken cook-top – If cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create
a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified service provider immediately
for repairs.
DO NOT TOUCH COOKTOP HEATING ELEMENTS OR AREAS NEAR
ELEMENTS –
Cooktop heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near cooktop heating elements may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact cooktop heating elements
or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among
these areas are the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with cooktop heating
elements of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the entire cooktop heating element heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

PREVENTING DAMAGE
Do not allow cookware to boil dry or otherwise overheat.
Do not cook foods packaged in aluminum foil directly on the cooktop.
Do not otherwise use aluminum foil, or any material that could melt,
directly on the cooktop.
Never cook directly on the grates. Always use appropriate cookware.
Never leave cooktop heating elements unattended. Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Turn off all controls when
done cooking.
Do not use if cooktop is broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified service provider immediately for repairs.
To prevent cooktop glass breakage, do not slide cookware across cooking
surface or otherwise scratch cooktop glass. Do not use the glass cooktop
as a cutting board.
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop. They could fall and break
the glass.
To minimize burn risk and maximize cooking efficiency, cookware should
completely cover the outlined area of the cooking element.

Types of Cooking Elements:
All Midea ranges are provided with 4 cooking elements (capable of raising
foods to safe cooking temperatures). Some models may also include a
warming element (capable of maintaining already-cooked food at safe
temperatures). Some models may include elements with multiple heating
areas. The number of heating areas on each element are indicated by the
rings on the glass cooktop. (Images do not represent all possible
configurations.) As the cooking elements operate, they will automatically
cycle on and off - even at the highest setting - to maintain power levels.
NOTE: Higher powered elements are placed towards the front for higher
temperature or shorter duration cooking, such as boiling, searing, and pan
frying. Lower powered elements are placed towards the rear for lower
temperature or longer duration cooking, such as simmer or melting
chocolate.

Cooktop Indicators (continued):
Hot Surface Indicator: Some models will have individual indicators for each
element under the cooktop glass. Alternatively, other models may only
have a single light under the cooktop glass indicating that one or more
elements are still hot. The Hot Surface Indicator will illuminate shortly after
turning an element on, and it will remain illuminated after the element has
been turned off.
NOTE: When the Hot Surface Indicator turns off, the glass surface may still
feel slightly hot to the touch. Avoid touching or placing anything on the
cooktop until it has completely cooled. The Hot Surface Indicator may
illuminate when the cooktop heats up during self-clean or long baking
cycles. This is normal.
Controlling the Cooking Elements:
To turn a cooking element on, push in on the control knob and turn in either
direction. The small icon above the control knob indicates the location of
the element being controlled. The various settings (from OFF to HI) are
located on the knob itself. Adjust to the desired heat setting by aligning the
power level on the knob to the indicator mark on the control panel. To turn
an element off, simply rotate the control knob to the OFF position.
Controlling Elements with Multiple Heating Areas (some models): Even if a
cooking element has multiple heating areas, each cooking element is
controlled by a single knob. When controlling a cooking element with
multiple heating areas, pay close attention to the markings on the knob.
The region being controlled is indicated by a series of concentric rings
corresponding to the areas being controlled.
1. A single dot " " indicates only the smallest or center most section of the
cooking element is being powered.
2. A dot with a ring " " indicates that two center sections of the cooking
element are being powered. (On an element with only two heating areas,
this means both heating areas are active.)
3. A dot with two rings " " indicates that all three sections of the cooking
element are being powered.

Controlling the Warming Elements (some models):
Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F. Do not attempt
to cook food using the warming element. Warming element is designed to
keep cooked foods warm, not to heat cold foods.
Depending on the model and configuration, warming elements may be
controlled in one of two ways. 6-knob model will have a dedicated knob for
controlling the warming element. 4-knob model will control the warming
element using a button on the oven control screen. Because of the limited
power available in the warming element, the control is always a simple ON/
