INSERTING AND REMOVING MODULES
Modules can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each
module has a plug which fits into a receptacle in the
side of the well nearest the center of the cooktop.
Some modules are inserted and removed differently
than others. See each module section for specific in-
structions for installing and removing that module.
USING COOKTOP CONTROLS
t
LOCATOR SYMBOL
The cooktop controls can be set anywhere between LO
and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings. To turn
the control knobs from the OFF position, push the
knobs in, then turn in either direction.
COOKTOP SIGNAL LIGHT
The cooktop signal light on the control panel will glow
when any cooktop element is on. It will remind you to
turn all the cooktop elements off when you are finished
cooking.
USING OPEN COIL ELEMENTS
See the information on using open coil elements on
pages 9-l 1.
USING DOWNDRAFT VENTING
Downdraft ranges have their own venting system
within the unit. Cooking vapors and smoke are routed
through the vents to the outside.
Whenever you turn any rear cooktop control knob or
the oven on, the blower will come on also. Use the
HI/LO switch on the front panel to adjust blower speed.
When the oven only is on, a LO blower setting is recom-
mended.
Xsh the bottom portion of the left-hand vent switch to
Jperate the blower, when rear cooktop elements or the
oven are not turned on. Pushing the top portion of this
switch turns the oven light on. The middle setting on
the switch is the OFF position.
RECIPES
Each module section in this manual includes some
recipes that may be prepared on that module. These
recipes should get you started cooking and give you an
idea of the various ways you can use each module.
CARE OF MODULES
Some of the modules must be cured or preconditioned
before using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should be cleaned after each
use. The longer soil remains, the harder it is to clean.
See each module section in this manual for specific in-
structions. Never immerse any module in water.
When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories
should be stored in a clean, dry place. Always be
careful not to drop the modules or they could be
damaged.
CLEANING THE MODULAR COOKTOP
Control Knobs
Pull knobs straight off and wash at the sink with soap
and water.
Open Coil Reflector Bowls
See instructions on page 10 for the Open Coil module.
Porcelain Enameled Wells and Cooktop
Porcelain enamel can crack or chip with misuse. It can
stain if spillovers of foods with a high acid content
(such as tomato or lemon juice) are not cleaned up
quickly.
Wash with soap and water. For heavy soil, cover with a
damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes or use a scouring
pad. Rinse with vinegar and water and dry with a paper
towel. When cleaning porcelain wells, be careful not to
get the receptacles wet. Do not try to fill the wells with
water.
Brushed Chrome Cooktop
Wash with soap and water. For heavy soil, cover with a
damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes. A chrome cleaner
may be used.
To remove fingerprints, apply a little baby oil or cooking
oil with a cloth or paper towel. Rub in the same direc-
tion as the brush marks on the chrome.
Painted Control Panel
Wash with soap and water. Rinse with vinegar and
water and dry with a paper towel. Do not use scouring
pads or abrasive cleaners because they may damage
the finish.
