operation will affect the heat setting.
Hi: Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always
reduce setting to a lower heat when

fast boil for large amounts of liquids.

large amounts of liquids and for most
frying operations.
Med. Lo: Use to continue cooking

CAUTION:
BEFORE COOKING
• Always place a pan on the surface
unit before you turn it on. To prevent
damage to cooktop, never operate
surface unit without a pan in place.
• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage
area for food or cookware.
DURING COOKING
• Be sure you know which knob
controls which surface unit. Make
sure you turned on the correct
surface unit.
• Begin cooking on a higher heat
setting then reduce to a lower setting
to complete the operation. Never use
a high heat setting for extended
cooking.
• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This
could damage the pan and the
appliance.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the
surface units, to become warm or hot
during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
AFTER COOKING
• Make sure surface unit is turned off.
• Clean up messy spills as soon as
possible.
OTHER TIPS
• If cabinet storage is provided
directly above cooking surface, limit
it to items that are infrequently used
and can be safely stored in an area
subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for
items such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave any items, especially
plastic items, on the cooktop. The
heat may ignite flammable items,
melt or soften plastics, or increase
pressure in closed containers
causing them to burst.
• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat
probes or any other metal object,
other than a pan on a surface
element, to contact heating
elements.
