Before Setting Surface Controls

About the surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element will glow red.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Surface elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned off. The surface

element may still be hot and burns may occur if the

surface element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire

if placed too close to the surface elements.

Using proper cookware

The size and type of

cookware used will

influence the surface

element power level

setting needed for best

cooking results. Be sure to

follow the

recommendations for

using proper cookware as

illustrated in both Figs. 1

& 2.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See Fig. 2).

ik CAUTION

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that could

melt on the surface elements.

Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place —

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may

subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Element On indicator lights

The ELEMENT ON indicator lights are marked on the

control panel and will glow when a surface cooking

element is turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator

lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface

controls are turned OFF.
