Cooking with Smoothtop Module

WARNING
To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on
a broken smoothtop module. Spillovers or cleaners
can penetrate surface of module and create a risk of
electrical shock. If smoothtop module breaks,
discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer
immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use cast iron cookware. Cast iron retains
heat and may result in cooktop damage.
• Use heavy-gauge metal cookware not including
cast iron.
• Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is
warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats
slowly and may not boil water. Cookware with an
aluminum disk bottom makes excellent contact
with cooking surface. See Utensils section for more
information.
• Do not use glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-
porcelain cookware. Small imperfections on bottom
of such cookware can scratch smoothtop module
surface.
• Module surface is not "scratch proof". Surface is
highly scratch and impact resistant. With
recommended cooking utensils and proper care, it
will continue looking good through years of use.
• Do not use a pan that overhangs burner by more
than 1 inch.
WARNING
To avoid risk of serious personal injury, property
damage, or fire, do not leave surface elements
unattended while in operation. Grease and spillovers
can ignite causing a fire.
1. Push in and turn surface element control to desired
setting.
• Range has two indicator lights, one for each right
and left side module elements. When either front or
rear element is on, corresponding indicator light
glows red.
2. When finished cooking, turn control to "OFF".
