COOKTOP OPERATION

WARNING
WARNING FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES. Smother fire or flame with a close-
fitting lid or metal tray. Never pick up a flaming pan.
• Never leave cooktop heating elements unattended. Boil-over causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Turn off all controls when done
cooking.
• Do not place items that can melt or burn on the cooktop, even when it is not
being used.
NOTICE
PREVENTING DAMAGE
• Do not allow cookware to boil dry or otherwise overheat.
• Do not cook foods packaged in aluminum foil directly on the cooktop. Do not
otherwise use aluminum foil, or any material that could melt, directly on the
cooktop.
• Never cook directly on cooktop. Always use appropriate cookware.
Types of Cooking Elements:
All Midea ranges are provided with 4 cooking elements (capable of raising
foods to safe cooking temperatures).
As the cooking elements operate, they will automatically cycle on and off -
even at the highest setting - to maintain power levels. NOTE: Higher powered
elements are placed towards the front for higher temperature or shorter
duration cooking, such as boiling, searing, and pan frying. Lower powered
elements are placed towards the rear for lower temperature or longer duration
cooking, such as simmer or melting chocolate.
Pan Size/Element Size Selection:
To minimize burn risk and maximize cooking efficiency, cookware should
completely cover the outlined area of the cooking element as indicated below:
