Smoothtop Module
WARNING !
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.
To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on a
broken smoothtop module. Spillovers or cleaners can
penetrate surface of module and create a risk of
electrical shock. If smoothtop module breaks,
discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer
immediately.
• 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, ceramic, or enamel-porcelain
cookware. Small imperfections on bottom of such
cookware can scratch smoothtop module surface.
• Module 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.
• Do not use a pan that overhangs burner by more than 1
inch.
1. Push in and turn surface element control to desired
setting.
• Cooktop has 1 indicator light for all control knobs.
When an element is on, indicator light glows red.
2. When finished cooking, turn control to OFF.

WARNING !
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.
To avoid risk of property damage, do not use metal
cooking utensils on the grill.
1. Before using grille for first time wash it with warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Lightly wipe
top of grille surface with cooking oil to prevent food
from sticking (do not use shortening or butter). Let
cooking oil remain on grille surface.
2. Trim excess fat from around meats to prevent
smoking and flare-ups.
3. Push in and turn right or left front control knob
(depending on where grille is located) to select a
temperature.
• If you use right or left rear control knob, indicator
lights, but element does not heat, and fan does not
operate.
• Fan turns on at low speed.
4. Preheat grille for approximately 10 minutes to improve
charbroiled flavor.
• Do not heat grille for extended periods on
HI setting
without food. Extreme temperatures may separate
non-stick finish from metal.
• Do not precook food before grilling unless it is
immediately placed on grille.
5. Place food on grille.
• Check that meats are done before removing them
from grille. Meats often brown quickly on outside,
but are not done in middle.
• If meat begins to cook too quickly on outside,
reduce grille heat.
6. When finished cooking, turn control to OFF.
7. Clean grille pan and smoke control grille.
• Always use nylon, hard rubber, or wooden kitchen
tools on conventional no-stick finish.
