Ing. Use with care.

Hlnts and tlpr:

vent excessive smoke and flare-up. Mkats

which normally have a high fat content

will produce more smoke and flare-up. Fat

meats cook faster than lean meats.

If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the

grill control knob to a lower setting.

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.

Do not use the smoothtop module for

canning.

1. The cookware you use.

2. What to expect.

3. Thecareandcleaning.

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.

Bottoms must be clean. Heating a soiled pan

can leave a stain on the smoothtop.

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.
