Medium (5): Use to
maintain slow boil for
large amounts of liquids
and for most frying
operations.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect
the heat setting.
Low (1): Use to keep
foods warm and melt
chocolate and butter. High (9): Use to bring
liquid to a boil. Always
reduce setting to a lower
heat when liquids begin to
boil or foods begin to cook.
Med. Low (3):
Use to con-
tinue cooking
covered foods
or steam foods.
Med. High (7): Use to
brown meat, heat oil for
deep fat frying or
sauteing. Maintain fast
boil for large amounts
of liquids.
Notes:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in
settings as quickly as coil elements.
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
Smoothtop Surface
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
patterns on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1 / 2 to 1-inch beyond
the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.

Recommendations on page 13.

Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning
(see page 6 for more information)
• Before first use, clean the cooktop.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a
clean, dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Marks & Scratches
• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.
• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See
Cleaning, page 6.)

area is hot to the touch even after the control has been turned
off. The red light will remain on until the surface has
cooled.
