OVERVIEW

Your Kenyon cook top features an easy-to-use surface
with 6" burners that stays clean and looks new with mini-
mum effort. A series of electric heating coils are suspended
beneath the ceramic glass. The design of the burners di-
rects the heat up through the glass providing efficient
cooking.
The glass surrounding the burners remains much cooler
even while cooking on high settings.
There are thermal limiters on each burner to keep the
element from overheating. The limiters will reduce the
wattage to the element if a pot boils dry, if no utensil is
uesd at all or if an improper utensil is used.
The burner controls are designed to provide infinitely vari-
able control of the heat output by alternately switching
on and off the electric element at different cycles.
Excellent control of very small heat input is available at
low dial settings, while still being able to deliver full out-
put at high heat settings.

GENERAL OPERATION

Cooking Utensils

Your existing utensils will probably work fine on your
ceramic glass cook top. Here are a few tips to get the
most out of your utensils used on the cook top.
The utensils should be slightly concave or designed with
a flat bottom. Although glass and other types of cook-
ware can be used, metal cookware with thick bottoms
will generally conduct the best heat.
Use utensils of the correct diameter only. The base of the
pot or pan should be about as wide as the cooking zone
on which it is being used- not much wider or narrower.
This will provide maximum heating efficiency and give
you the shortest boiling times.
Make sure that both the cook top panel and the bottom
of your utensil are clean and dry before using. Doing so
will help prevent scratches and stains.

Do not use a sponge or dish towel to wipe off the cook
top. This may leave a film of detergent or other debris
that could cause discoloration the next time the cook top
is heated.
Do not let anything that melts such as plastics, alumi-
num foil, or sugar come in contact with your cook top
surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto the
surface immediately move it to a cool area of the cook
top with a razor blade scraper, and then remove it from
the cook top.

Your cooking area controls
are called infinite by name.
This type of control has an
unlimited selection of heat
settings. The control set-
tings begin at low and in-
crease heat output as you
turn the knob clockwise.
There are several lights
which provide an indication
of burner operation and hot
surfaces (safety light). The
lights are located next to the
control knobs. When the
control is in the "on" posi-
tion a red light is lit indicat-
