Surface Cooking
Surface Controls
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of
heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can
be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1. Place pan on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired
heat setting.
• The control panel is marked to identify which
element the knob controls. For example, the
graphic at right indicates left front element.
3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel.
When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will
turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface
elements are turned off.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in
a fault code during cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and
allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then
reset the clean cycle. If the fault code reappears, contact an
authorized servicer.
Noises may be heard.
• The oven makes several low level noises. You may hear the
oven relays as they go on and off. This is normal.
• As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage your appliance.
There are no beeps and no display.
• Oven may be in Sabbath Mode. See page 16.
SAb flashing and then displayed continuously.
• Oven is in Sabbath Mode. To cancel, press and hold the
Clock pad for five seconds.
BEFORE COOKING
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it
on. To prevent damage to range, 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.
CAUTION
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. Tempera-
tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the
cooktop. The hot air from the vent 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.
• NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall
and damage it.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through
the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Dual Elements
The cooking surface has two dual elements
located in the right front and left front of
the smoothtop. This allows you to change
the size of these elements.
Press the switch to the left to use the
large element or to the right to use the
small element. The selection should be
made before turning on the element.
