SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

I Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s

Manual.

IIBefore performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

OpeagIructions

I Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified

hang on the door, storage drawer or

cooktop. They could damage the range

and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

IIDo not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

rdCleaing

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

rdCleaing

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least

an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

ips

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will

also improve efficiency.

ubleshotingT

I Never leave the surface units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may

catch on fire.

I To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and

spillage, the handle of a container

should be turned toward the center of

the range without extending over nearby

surface units.

I Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers

are suitable for cooktop service; others

may break because of the sudden change

in temperature.

I Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass

cooktop section.

I When the cooktop is cool, use only

CERAMA BRYTE^®Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE^®

Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

I Foods for frying should be as dry as

possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture

on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over the sides of the pan.

I Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can

cause spillovers when food is added.

I If a combination of oils or fats will be

used in frying, stir together before heating,

or as fats melt slowly.

I To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to

the glass surface when it is hot.

rdCleaing

I Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

I Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

I After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper

towel to remove all cleaning cream

residue.

I Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.

The cooktop can be scratched with items

such as sharp instruments, rings or other

jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

I Read and follow all instructions and

warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

I Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

or cooktops can lead to broken or

shattered glass.

I Do not operate the radiant surface units if

the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning

solution may penetrate a broken cooktop

and create a risk of electrical shock.

I Do not leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air from the vent may ignite

flammable items and will increase pressure

in closed containers, which may cause

them to burst.

ubleshotingT

Contact a qualified technician immediately

should your glass cooktop become broken.

I Never use the glass cooktop surface as

a cutting board.

I Do not leave plastic or flammable items

on the cooktop—they may melt or ignite

if left too close to the vent.

I Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even

when it is not being used.

ips

I Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the

cooktop can lead to damage and improper

operation of the range.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating

units beneath a smooth glass surface.

SURFACE

COOKING

DRAGGING

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new

cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by

the heating of new parts and insulating materials

and will disappear in a short time.

Never cook directly on the glass.

OpeagIructions

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass

cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to

change color when hot or cooling down. This is

temporary and will disappear as the glass cools

to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to

maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the

glass surface even when the cooktop

is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned

off, the glass cooktop retains enough

heat to continue cooking. To avoid

overcooking, remove pans from the

surface units when the food is cooked.

Avoid placing anything on the surface

unit until it has cooled completely.

Always use cookware.

Do not slide cookware across the

cooktop because it can scratch the

glass—the glass is scratch-resistant,

not scratchproof.

OFF CENTER

I Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full-strength white

vinegar.

I Use of window cleaner may leave an

iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning

cream will remove this discoloration.

I Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause

damage.

Always place the pan in the center of

the surface unit you are cooking on.

rdCleaing

I Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered

completely with porcelain enamel, this

cookware is recommended. Caution is

recommended for cast iron cookware

that is not completely covered with

smooth porcelain enamel, since it may

scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

ubleshotingT

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Check pans for flat bottoms by

using a straight edge.

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues

sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned

immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin weight aluminum should not

be used.

Glass-Ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the

surface.

CnsmeSuport

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can

appear as scratches. The residues can be

removed, as long as the cooktop is

cleaned immediately. However, do not let

these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can

bond to glass cooktops. An overheated

copper bottom pot will leave a residue

that will permanently stain the cooktop

if not removed immediately.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the

one is not directly above the other.

Center baking pans in the oven.

Aluminum Foil

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch

a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several

inches below the food.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

rdCleaing

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,

on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the

texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or

stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
