This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged commercial plug. For safety,
this plug MUST be connected to a 3 pronged outlet. Before connecting power,
make sure the outlet’s voltage and frequency correspond to the data plate on the
range (120 volts/60hz.)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Glass Ceramic Range
features, (Figure A):
2. This range is equipped with an automatic cooking system, i.e. it heats up to
each setting quickly with its maximum power and then maintains the temperature.
3. The Glass Ceramic Cooking Surface has a power-saving two-circle heating
zone, so you can match heating zone diameter to your pot/pan diameter for
maximum energy efficiency.
l For activating the large heating zone ( 8.25”diameter), turn the Temperature
Control Knob clockwise up to the symbol and then counterclockwise
back to the desired heat level.
l For changing back to the small heating zone (5.5” diameter), turn the
temperature Control Knob counterclockwise to the OFF position (O) and
then clockwise back to the desired heat level 1-12.
l Use the settings as follows:
1-5 - for warming up and keeping warm
4-9 - for moderate temperature cooking
8-12 - for high temperature cooking
4. The Power On Indicator Light on the lower right of the glass ceramic cooking
surface is lit up when the appliance is switched on.
5. The Residual Heat Indicator Light on the lower left of the glass ceramic cooking
surface warns you when the cooking surface is still hot after the unit is turned off.
It also makes you aware of the possibility of making use of the remaining residual heat.
6. Only use pots or pans with a perfect, even bottom and an appropriate diameter.
If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, energy will be wasted. Do not use cooking
containers consisting of synthetic material, inferior enamel, china, or aluminum foil
in any form. If an aluminum pot or pan is used, it must not be allowed to boil dry,
or the pan will warp or melt and the range cooking surface will be permanently
damaged. Always use a pot, pan, or casserole dish for its intended purpose. Only
certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temp-
erature. Check the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
7. The glass ceramic cooking surface and the pot bottom must always be clean
and dry. Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the range’s heating surface.
8. Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop.
9. Do not place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.
10.During use the surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when handling the
appliance to avoid the risk of getting burned! Keep the power cord away from the
