Medium (5=7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.
Meal. High (8=9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.
High (10): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
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 te 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.
Pans should net extend mere than !/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.

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.
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
To Prevent Marks and 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.
To prevent scratching or damage to the
Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
???Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated. Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.
To Prevent Other Damage
,Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.(See Cleaning, pages
,Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.
,Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
,Never cook food directly on the surface.
,Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.
Do not use
Do not use foil or
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.
Fiat 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.

Cookware
All canners and large pots must have fiat bottoms and
must be made from heavy=gauge materials. This is critical
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 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.
