Removing and Reinstalling Cooktop
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch surface
elements or area near elements. Surface elements
may be dark in color even when hot. Areas near
elements may be hot enough to burn. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
material contact surface elements until they have had
time to cool.
1. Turn off circuit breaker or electrical supply.
2. Disconnect cooktop wires from house wires.
• See
Power Supply Connection section.
3. Lift cooktop out of cutout.
4. Reverse procedure to reinstall cooktop.
Cooking with Smoothtop Elements
WARNING
To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on a
broken smoothtop cooking surface. Spillovers or
cleaners can penetrate surface and create a risk of
electrical shock. If smoothtop cooking surface breaks,
discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer
immediately.
To avoid risk of serious personal injury, property
damage, or fire, do not leave surface elements
unattended while in operation. Grease and spillovers
can ignite causing a fire.
• Before cooking on smoothtop, wipe top with cleaner
conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes
marks and stains easier to remove.
• Use heavy-gauge metal cookware not including cast
iron.
• Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is
warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats slowly
and may not boil water. Cookware with an aluminum
disk bottom makes excellent contact with cooking
surface. See
Utensils section for more information.
• Do not use glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-porcelain
cookware. Small imperfections on bottom of such
cookware can scratch smoothtop surface.
• Smoothtop cooking surface is not “scratch proof”.
Surface is highly scratch and impact resistant. With
recommended cooking utensils and proper care, it will
continue looking good through years of use.
