ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1 & 2). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE

ELEMENTS The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the OFF cycle. For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. NONO NONO

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 13 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop). Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care Guide. Fig.1 - 30” Model - Cooktop AppearanceELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON

Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the 30” cooktop as follows: -2 small 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions; -2 dual 5 to 7 inch radiant elements located at the right and left front positions; -1 triple 5, 7 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the center rear position; The radiant surface elements are located on the 36” cooktop as follows: -2 small 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions; -2 dual 6 to 9 inch radiant elements located at the right and left front positions; -1 triple 5, 7 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the center rear position;

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing. Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Recommended Settings for Surface Elements Setting Type of Cooking HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling. MEDIUM HIGH (8-10) Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying. MEDIUM (6) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and gravies; steaming vegetables. MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking; poaching and stewing. LOW (LO) Keep warm, melting and simmering.9 THE ELECTRONIC SURFACE ELEMENT CONTROL (ESEC) The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes 5 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the 5 radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 1 thru 4). The available ESEC Display Settings The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig.

4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings between 9.5 and 3.0 decrease or

increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 and 1.2 are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 4; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Setting Surface Controls ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE) After using any of the single, dual or triple radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message “HE” (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.6). If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned ON again for use. ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er) An error message will be displayed (glowing “Er”) at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 7). If a power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the “Er” message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact your authorized servicer for assistance.

Fig. 6 Fig. 7 ESEC Power Failure Indicator Message (PF) When the range is first plugged in or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the ESEC control will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; See Fig. 5). After a few seconds the "PF" message will disappear from the display. Fig. 510 Setting Surface Controls

• Curved and warped pan bot- toms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than element. GOOD

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of cookware. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cook- ware that has shown in the illustration at right. Note : Always use a cooking utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop. Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements. Note : The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

COOKWARE MATERIAL TYPES

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials avalaible are: ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scatches. Remove these marks immediately. COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above). STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops. PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops. GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.14 Surfaces Aluminum & Vinyl Painted and Plastic Control Knobs Stainless Steel, Chrome Control Panel, Decorative Trim How to Clean Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
