Surface Cooking
Surface Controls
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1.Place pan on surface element.
2.Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.
???The control panel is marked to identify Front which element the knob controls. For
example, the graphic at right indicates left front element.
3.There is an element indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off.
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.
4.After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware, type and amount of food being heated, and wattage of individual elements will deter- mine where to set the knob for cooking operations. Some elements have a predetermined simmer and melt setting that will require only minor adjustment up or down depending on the food being prepared. The other elements have settings printed around the knobs that are also unique to those elements. Adjust the heat settings to the numbers that give the desired cooking results. For information on cookware and
other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 11. The following descriptions will aid in choosing the settings that will give optimum results.
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above 140??F without continuing to cook. Food is initially hot and then heat is reduced. Never use a Hold or Warm setting to reheat cold food.
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the surface. Foods are between 185?? F and 200?? F. A simmer
setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or continue cooking covered foods.
Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow boil setting can also be used for most frying and for maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids.
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting can also be used to brown meat, stir fry, saut??, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting. The highest 3 or 4 settings on the knob are used for these cooking
operations. The highest setting is always used to bring water to a boil. Some elements offer an even higher speed for boiling liquids.
Dual Element
The cooking surface has a dual element located at the left front of the smoothtop. This allows you to change the size of this element.
Press the switch to the left to use the large element or to the right to use the small element. The selection should be made before turning on the element.
CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
???Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.
???NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.
DURING COOKING
???Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.
???Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.
???NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.
???NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.
AFTER COOKING
???Make sure surface unit is turned off.
???Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.
OTHER TIPS
???If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
???NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.
???NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.
???NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it.

Suggested Settings
Notes:
???Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
???Always use oven mitts when removing food from the Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.
???All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
???When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
???Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Smoothtop Surface
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.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

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
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.)
???Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

???Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.
Cookware Recommendations
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.
Flat Pan Tests
See if your pans are flat.
The Ruler Test:
1.Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2.Hold it up to the light.
3.Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1.Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to High.
2.Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

Canning and Oversize
Cookware
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from
1 inch larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.
