IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

▲WARNING

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this cooktop only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
  ■ Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
• 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 performed by a qualified technician.
  ■ Before performing any service, unplug the cooktop or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
  ■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
  Do not store items of interest to the cooktop—children climbing on the items could be seriously injured.

CAUTION

■ 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 or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the room.
- Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface elements or areas nearby the surface elements; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
- 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

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE COOKTOP

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

■ Do not store or use flammable materials near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the cooktop. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

- Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooktop. Grease on the cooktop may ignite.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a fire, do not use water or grease on 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-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or a foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

■ To avoid spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Use the proper pan size - select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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.
■ 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 range without extending over nearby surface units.

WARNING

RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
■ Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
■ Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
  ■ Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label. NOTE: Sugary spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the Glass Cooktop section for detailed instructions.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

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

Radiant Glass Cooktop

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

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

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as glass cools to room temperature.

The surface element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware (from the oven or surface) on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface elements are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface elements when the food is cooked.

Avoid placing utensils that could become hot or plastics that could melt on the surface element 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.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

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

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.

Surface Elements

How to Set

Push the knob down and turn in either direction to the setting you want. When the control is in any position other than Off, it may be rotated without pushing it down.

At Off, Hi, Lo and Simmer,

the control clicks into position.

You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

The controls for the radiant surface elements can be set anywhere between Lo or Simmer and Hi for an unlimited number of heat settings. With the infinite switch, the element cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

The On indicator light will glow when any surface element is on.

Illustration of a hand pressing down on a computer mouse (no text or symbols)

A Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150^ F.

NOTE:

■ It comes on when the element is hot to the touch.
■ It stays on even after the element is turned off.
■ It glows brightly until the element is cooled to approximately 150^ F.
■ Be sure you turn the control knob to Off when you finish cooking.

Dual Surface Element (on some models)

The left front surface element has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the element to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the large surface element, turn the SELECTOR knob to ●. Push down and turn the control knob to the desired setting. The element will heat the entire area contained by the larger circle.

To use the small surface element, turn the SELECTOR knob to ●Push in and turn control knob to the desired setting. The element will only heat the area inside the smaller circle.

Surface Elements Cycle On and Off

Surface elements will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature you have selected.

All radiant surface elements have a temperature limiter that protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the elements off while cooking if:

■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off-center.
■ There is no pan on the element.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

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

NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper:

recommended

Copper Bottom:

usable, but not 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.

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast-iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, since it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Use pans that match the diameter of the surface element. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface element.

Simple line drawing of a hand holding a ruler above a blank rectangular object (no text or symbols)

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

For Best Results

■ Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
■ Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
■ We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
■ Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

Illustration of two hands holding a rectangular object with a black X symbol, no text or symbols present

Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop.

Simple line drawing of a pan with crossed black lines indicating resistance or explosion (no text or symbols)

Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.

Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

Pots that extend beyond 1" of the surface element's circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, 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 elements.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR

Right!

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

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.

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface element. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface element, 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 elements 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 element if your canner is not flat.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the Off positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

The knobs can be washed with soap and water. Do not remove chrome accent skirt (on some models). Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the Off position to ensure proper placement.

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

ONLY use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective.

To maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Regular use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.

3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop.

4. Use a paper towel or non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.

5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

NOTE: It is very important that you DO NOT heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

Clean your cooktop after each spill. Use ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Burned-On Residue

NOTE: DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those recommended.

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area.
3. Using the included non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops, rub the residue area, applying pressure as needed.

4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps listed above as needed.

5. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

Simple line drawing of a hand pressing down on a circular object (no text or symbols)

Use a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

Heavy, Burned-On Residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.
2. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper at approximately a 45^ angle against the glass surface and scrape the soil. It will be necessary to apply pressure to the razor scraper in order to remove the residue.
3. After scraping with the razor scraper, spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaner on the entire burned residue area. Use the cleaning pad to remove any remaining residue.
4. For additional protection, after all residue has been removed, polish the entire surface with ceramic cooktop cleaner and a paper towel.

The ceramic cooktop scraper and all recommended supplies are available through our Parts Center. See instructions under "Assistance / Accessories" section.

NOTE: Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop

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.

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

These marks are removable using a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

1. 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.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface. Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt:
   a. Use a single-edge razor blade 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.
