Setting Surface Controls; Important Safety Instructions - Frigidaire FEC30S7EC Use & Care Manual

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part
of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for
baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
appliance.
FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
Models with coil elements

Setting Surface Controls:

1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the element
off before removing the pan.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot
holders, towel or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the element.
Indicator lights
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models
have an indicator light for each pair of heating units, also some other
models have an indicator light for all heating units.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check
if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating
unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the
indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all.
If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit
comes on.
When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights in an easy
check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned OFF.

• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
