BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Remove all packing materials and literature from
the cooktop surface.
While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and
dry.
Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® packaged
with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth (see page
14 for daily care instructions)
There maybe a slight odor during the fi rst several
uses; this is normal and will disappear.
Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used (see page 12.)
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain
hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have
been turned off.
Read all safety precautions and Care & Use
Manual information prior to operating.
PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG LIFE AND GOOD
APPEARANCE OF THE SURFACE:
Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme* will protect the surface and make it easier
to remove food soil and water spots.
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if
a pan or other object is dropped on it.
Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it
will melt and damage the glass surface.
Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in
contact with the hot glass surface; these items can
melt or burn and damage the glass surface.
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage
the pan, element and/or the cooktop.
Never cook food directly on the glass.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other
metal stand on the glass surface.
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface;
it may scratch the glass.
Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.
ELEMENT “ ON “ INDICATOR LIGHT
The element “on’ indicator light glows whenever any
element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of
the elements are turned off.
The “ON” light is located to the left of the power pad.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT
Each element features a hot indicator light to show
when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. After the
element is turned off, an “H” will appear in the element
display. The H remains on until the cooking area has
cooled to a safe -to-touch temperature.
If an H is lit inside the element display, use caution
when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the
cooktop is still hot.
RETAINED HEAT
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays
hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The
retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving
temperatures for a short time.
LOCKING THE COOKTOP
The panel lock is selected to prevent the control pads
from being turned on. Touch PANEL LOCK pad , light
ashes and beep sounds. Hold for 3 seconds to acti-
vate. A beep will sound and the panel lock light stays
lit indicating that the cooktop is locked.
To unlock, touch PANEL LOCK pad and hold for 3
seconds. A beep will sound and the light will go out
indicating the cooktop is unlocked.
The cooktop cannot be locked when surface element
is operating.
It is recommended to lock the cooktop when not in
use and for cleaning.
