requirements. Install only per installationinstructionsprovided inthe literature package

for thisappliance.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know

how to disconnect the electrical power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in

case of an emergency.

•User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically

recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified

technician to reduce the risk of personal injuryand damage to the appliance.

•Never modify or alter the construction ofan appliance such as removal of panels, wire

covers or any other permanent part of the appliance.

•Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.

This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as

well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the

appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the

area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part

ofthe appliance.

Safety

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS. Surface unitsmay

be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among

these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

• Wear Proper Apparel, Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance, Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot

surfaces.

•Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use

baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely, Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to

become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Pot holders, Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam, Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth instead of apot holder.

•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup of pressure rnay cause the container

to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a power failure. If the power

fails, always turn offthe cooktop. Ifthe cooktop isnotturned offand the power resumes, the

cooktop will begin to operate again. Food leftunattended could catch fire or spoil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

•Knowwhich knob controls each surface unit.

•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do notallowgrease to

accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits inthe fan could catch fire. When flaming food

under the hood, turnfan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.

• Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance isequipped with one or more surface units ofdifferent

sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of

undersized utensils will expose aportion of the surface heating unitto direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve

efficiency.

Safety

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface

Units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or apan that has boiled dry may melt.

•Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended for baking ifused as a cover placedon the food. Any other use

of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in arisk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due

to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for

cooktop use.

•Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an element isaccidentally turned on,

the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occu r if the hot covers are

touched. Damage may also be done to the appliance.

•Ventilating hood. The ventilating hoed above your cooking surface should be cleaned

frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

The ceramic coektop has radiant surface elements located below the r-

surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the _ /

area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the _k,J _.

pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See _ I_

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 _o_oo_op Appearance

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.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature dses, 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.

Forefficient cooking, turn offthe element several minutes before cooking is complete. This

will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Setting Surface Controls

Your appliance isequipped with radiant surface burners with 4

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 cooktop as

follows(See Figure):

- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left

rear positions;

- 2 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the right and

left front positions;

- 2 7 inch radiant elements located at both the center front

and rear position;

- one Bridge radiant element located between center front and

rear elements.

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The

Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as

stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting

chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking

results.

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 3 locations; the right, center and left

rear (Figure 1) element positions.

To Operate the Single Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the

desired setting (Figure 2). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if

desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides

aconstant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface

heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the ceokware

indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF

before removing the ceokware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light

will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to

glow until the glass ceoktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The

light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
