5. Using the solid element module
Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results
and to prevent damage to the cooktop. Spe-
cialty items with rounded or rtdged bottoms
(woks, ridged bottom canners or tea keffles) are
not recommended. Solid elements are made of
heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. These
elements hold heat longer than conventional type surface units. For best cooking results,
use a HIGHsetting for a very short period; then use a LOWsetting to complete the cooking.
Turn the element OFFa few minutes before you are finished cooklng.
CAUTION: Elements stay hot for a long time. Do not leave pans on hot elements when
cooking is done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.
NOTE:A protective limiter is built into each solid element. If pan bottoms are not flat, it will
sense uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduce the heat setting. This will
result in longer cooking times. See Cookware on page 11.

8. Using the optional smoothtop module
Cooking...
Cooking on the optional smoothtop is al-
most the same as cooking on surface units
There are three differences you should know
a bout: The glass will take longer to heat up than a
regular surface unit. It will also take longer to
cool down. Turn off the unit a few minutes be-
fore you are finished cooking.
l Do not use the smoothtop module for
canning.
1. The cookware you use.
2. What to expect.
3. Thecareandcleaning.
l Bottoms must be perfectly flat, with NO ridges,
rims, patterns, dents, roughness or scratches.
-Pans with uneven bottoms cause poor
cooking results and may damage the
smoothtop.
-Nicks and scratches on a pan can dam-
age the smoothtop.
l Bottoms must be clean. Heating a soiled pan
can leave a stain on the smoothtop.
l Sliding aluminum pans or foil, and copper
pans, on the smoothtop can leave marks.
Aluminum marks can be removed It they are
not heated. See page 16 for cleaning and
caring suggestions.
10

Pans should be the same size or larger than the elements to prevent boilovers and hot handles.
Only use pans wllh fluI bottoms. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and
the elements for fast,even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or raised patterns on the bottom
are not suitable. Flatness of a pan can be checked by placing an edge of a ruler across it.There
should not be space between the ruler edge and the bottom of the pan. DO NOT USE trlvefs,
woks wtlh skirts, or canners wlfh concave bottoms. See lllustmflons below.

Cleaning and caring for your cooktop
Control Dane1 and knobs
1. First make sure knobs are set on OFF then
pull knob straight off.
3. Wash knobs in worm soapy water. Rinse
well and dry
2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to
wrpe the panel. Rinse and wipe dry.
4. Push the knobs straight back on. Make sure
they point to OFF.

Coil elements and reflector bowls
Removlng
1. Be sure controls are OFF and elements are
COOL.
2. Liftthe edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle just enough to clear the reflector
bowl.
3. Pull the coil element straight away from the
receptacle.
4. Lift out the reflector bowl
Replaclng
1. Be sure toll elements are OFF.
2. Line up opening in the reflector bowl with the
coil element receptacle.
3. Hold the coil element as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the
receptacle.
4. While pushing the coil element terminal into
the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of the
unit nearest the receptacle.
5. When the terminal is pushed into the recep-
tacle as far as itwill go, the coil element will flt
into the reflector bowl.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to
the utensils on the coil elements. They
also help catch spills. When they are
kept clean, they reflect heat better and
look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored,
some of the utensils used may not be flat
enough. Or some may be too large for
the coil element. In either case, some of
the heat that is meant to go into or
around a utensil goes down and heats
the reflector bowl. This extra heat can
discolor it.

Solid elements
Solld elements are not removable. After
each use, wipe off the elements with a damp,
soft cloth and soapy water. Burned-on food
may be removed with a soapy scouring pad.
The red spot in the center of the elements
will gradually wash off.This is normal and
will not affect the operation of the elements.
IMPORTANT: AFTER EACH CLEANING, HEAT ELEMENTS UNTIL DRY.
Todarken elements or to remove rust spots caused by improper drying, apply a thin
coat of salt-free oil to the CCCL elements, then heat for 3-5 minutes. Ifelements have
dark spots, the oil treatment will improve their appearance but will not eliminate
the spots.
The stainless steel spillrings will gradually yellow from the heat of the elements
and pans. This is normal. The yellowing can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner on the spillrings.
Smoothtop module
Always clean the smoothtop atter each use.
l Wipe the smoothtop surface with a clean,
damp paper towel before each use. Do not
use a sponge or cloth. A llttle lettover soap
or soll can staln the smoothtop when
heated.
l Use only clean cookware.
l Avoid spillovers. Use pans with tall sides.
l Do not let covers drlp on the smoothtop.
l Wipe up any spills with a wet paper towel,
when the unit iscool enough not to steam. The
longer you cook with a splllover on the unlt,
the harder It will be to remove.
l Clean off metal marks (from copper or alumi-
num) right away. If heated they may never
come off.
Avold damage
l Do not use the smoothtop as a cutting
board.
0 Sugary spills can cause pitting on the surface.
l Spilling cold water on a hot surface may
crack it. Do not use a cracked smoothtop.
l Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
smoothtop can crack it.Be careful with heavy
skillets. Do not store Jars or cans above the
smoothtop.
See the special smoothtop cleaning sug-
gestlons on page 18.

If you need service or assistance, we suggest you
follow these four steps:
1.Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If nothing operates:
l Is the cooktop wired correctly to a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See Installation
Instructions.)
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
If surface units will not operate:
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l Are surface units plugged in all the way?
l Do the control knobs turn?
u surface unlt control knob or knobs
will not turn:
l Dld you push in before trying to turn?
If cooking results aren’t what you expected:
Surface Units
l Is the cooktop level?
l Are you using pans recommended on page
7?
l Are the pans the size called for in the recipe?
l Do the cooking utensils fit the surface unit
being used?
Grill
l Did you leave space between the food items?
l Was the grill preheated for the proper amount
of time?
l Was food partially frozen or very cold before
grilling? Cooking time will be longer.
Solid Elements
l Did you use the HIGH setting for a short time,
then use a LOW setting to complete cooking?
l Are you using heavy metal pans?
l Are you using pans with flat bottoms?
If dark spots or rust appear on elements:
l Apply a thin coating or salt-free oil to the
COOL elements, then heat for 3-5 minutes. If
elements have dark spots, the treatment will
improve their appearance, but not eliminate
the spots.
If stainless steel spillrings are yellowing:
l Use stainless steel cleaner to remove
yellowing.
If venting results aren’t what you expected:
l Is the exhaust fan turned on?
l Are the cooktop surface units and module
parts clean? They must be cleaned after
each use.
l Are the vent filters clean and in place? Re-
placement filters (Part No. 786220) can be or-
dered from Whirlpool Dealers or TECH-CARE”
Service Companies.
l Is the vent duct or outside opening blocked?
l Is there a draft in the room where the cooktop
is installed?
l Has the meat fat been well trimmed?
