IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

⚠ WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 manual.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Before performing any service, disconnect the cooktop power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
- Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
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.
■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.
■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
■Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.

■ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance away from your cooktop.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop. They may become hot and could cause burns.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units 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. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.
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 extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

▲WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not touch glass ceramic surface units while cooking. This surface may be hot enough to burn even though it may appear dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cooking surface. Note the hot indicator lights and allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Hot surfaces may include both the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
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 cooktop without extending over any nearby surface units.
■ Always turn off the surface unit control before removing the cookware.
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 surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers may cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
Glass and ceramic cookware is not recommended for use with your radiant ceramic glass cooktop.
- Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings.
■ 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.
■ Avoid placing any objects on or near the keypads in order to prevent accidental activation of the cooktop controls.
■ 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.
- Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.
- Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food on the cooktop when not in use.
- Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
■ Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause injury.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.
■Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Using the surface units.

Your new Profile Cooktop makes an eloquent statement of style, convenience, and kitchen planning flexibility. Whether you chose it for its purity of design, assiduous attention to detail, or for both of these reasons—you'll find that your Profile cooktop's superior blend of form and function will delight you for years to come.

This cooktop contains several new features such as pan detection and pan sizing. The touch controls give you precise control of the surface units. You can quickly switch between a steady low heat and full power or any setting in between. The information on the following pages will help you operate and maintain your cooktop properly.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

SURFACE COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

About the radiant surface units...

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

The ON/OFF indicator lights will come on next to the Warmer and Dual burners when activated. Lights also activate for the Pan Detect and Control Lock features when they are turned on. The indicator lights will go off when the surface unit or feature is turned off.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■ Come on when the surface unit is turned on.

■ Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 150°F.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool. Never place cookware on the control area.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

- Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Radiant Surface Units

The controls for the radiant surface units allow for 11 different heat settings: Low, 1–9 and High. The heating element may not visibly glow at low heat settings.

NOTE: This cooktop has a rapid heat-up feature. If the cooktop is cool when turned on, it will glow red for a short period of time until the desired power setting is reached. If the cooktop is already warm, the rapid heat-up feature may not activate.

ON OFF + OR -

Single Surface Unit

To turn on a single surface unit:

1 Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch the (+)/(-) pad. The surface unit will turn on to power setting 5.

2 Use the (+)/(−) pad to choose the desired power setting. The control will beep each time a pad is touched.

To turn off a standard surface unit, touch the ON/OFF pad again.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

High (H) - Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.

Medium High (7–9) – Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

Medium (4–6) – Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on large amounts of food.

Medium Low (2–3) – Cook after starting at high; cooks with little water in covered pan.

Low (1) – Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering.

Lowest (L) – Keeps food warm, melts chocolate and butter.

At high or medium-high settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface units on the glass-ceramic surface when it is cool. Never place cookware on the control area.

NOTE: Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or more units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface indicator light(s) will remain lit after the surface unit is off until the surface has cooled below 150^ F.

NOTE: The kitchen timer will NOT turn off the surface units when the time reaches 00:00.

To operate the kitchen timer, use the pads below the TIMER display.

Touch the ON/OFF pad and then touch the (+)/(-) pad to choose the desired time setting. If the (+)/(-) pad is held for several seconds, the timer will increase or decrease at a faster rate.

After you have chosen your desired time, the timer will automatically start to count down from the hours/minutes that you have selected. When the timer counts down to the last minute, the control will beep once and the timer will count down in seconds until 00:00. Then the control will beep twice every five seconds until the timer is turned off. Touch the ON/OFF pad to turn the timer off.

Using the Pan Detection Feature

This feature automatically turns off a surface unit after 60 seconds if a pan is absent from the surface unit. The power level display will flash until the surface unit is turned off when the control detects the absence of a pan.

To activate and deactivate pan detection for all surface units:

Touch the PAN pad. (At least one surface unit must be on.) The display will flash "PAN ON" when the pan detection feature is on.

A signal will sound and a light next to the PAN pad will indicate whether the feature is active. If the light is on, pan detection is on, and if the light is off,

pan detection is off. When the pan detection feature is disabled, the pan sizing feature is also disabled.

NOTES:

For this feature to work properly, the pan diameter must be greater than 4.0 inches and centered on the surface unit.

This feature may not operate properly with rounded, curved or warped pan bottoms (see the Types of Cookware section).

This feature will not work with glass cookware (see the Types of Cookware section).

Using Pan Sizing

This feature is only used on the dual surface unit when the pan detection feature is enabled. When a small pan is placed on the surface unit, the small surface unit will activate. When a pan larger than 6.0 inches is placed on the surface unit, the large surface unit will automatically activate. This feature may be overridden for a single cooking session while leaving the pan detection feature active (see Dual Surface Unit section).

To turn off this feature and the pan detection feature:

Touch the PAN pad.

The light next to the pad will go out, indicating that pan features are turned off. NOTE: The pan must be centered over the surface unit for this feature to work properly.

Selecting types of cookware.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Simple line drawing of a hand pressing down on a flat surface with a 'PAN' label (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cookware:

not recommended

Some porcelain-covered cookware can bond to the hot cooking surface.

Three identical cooking pots with crossed X marks, likely indicating prohibition or resistance.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Pan Detection/Sizing may not work properly with these types of pans.

Aluminum:

Glass-Ceramic/Stoneware:

not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

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.

Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop. Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop. Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

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-bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Pan Detection/Sizing will work properly with these types of cookware.

Pan Detection/Sizing will not work with these types of pans.

For Best Results

Place only dry pans on the surface units. Do not place lids on the surface units, particularly wet lids.
Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface units.
Use only a flat-bottomed wok, available from many popular cookware manufacturers. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface unit to insure proper contact.

Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms that match the size of the surface units.

Right! Wrong!

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

When canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.

7 Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2 Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don't make enough contact with the surface units and take a long time to boil water.
3 When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4 Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of large quantities of water.

CAUTION:

■ Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.
■ After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
■ Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is not flat.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape and cooktop labels on the new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts before using the cooktop. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1 Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks are removable using the CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner with the CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Pad for Ceramic Cooktops.

2 If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Glass surface—potential for permanent damage.

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have a spillover, it can cause permanent damage to the glass surface unless the spillover is immediately removed.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

1 Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2 Wearing an oven mitt: a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper (CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop Scraper) to move the spill to a cool area on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with paper towels.

3 Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

4 Don't use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass surface has already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
