COOKTOPUSE
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Quick Light Radiant Heating Elements
The quick light radiant heating elements are designed for fast
heat response. You can see them light up in just seconds. These
elements consist of a set of special heater coils embedded in a
thermal insulation material. You may notice the element going on
and off a number of times during use. This is a normal
occurrence.
Simmer
Element (on some models)
The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the
element. This element can maintain lower temperatures
for
preparation
of foods that require very low heat such as sauces,
chocolate or cheese.
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and "0"
(OFF).
On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the principle
of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to setting 5,
the element will be on 50% of the time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Power On Lights
The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which
surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when
its corresponding
surface element is turned on.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour
is the recommended
maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming
Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its
indicator light will glow as long as the Warming Element area is
too hot to touch.
•
Use only cookware and dishes recommended
for oven and
cooktop use.
•
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
•
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
•
You might want to use pot holders or oven mitts to remove
cookware.
To Use:
1. Set switch to ON. The light will glow red.
