3 Cooktop Safety Your safety is important to us. This guide contains safety statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given.
4 COOKTOP SAFETY • Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit and you could be burned. • Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam.
5 Grease • Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe spillovers immediately. • Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.

11 Using Cookware tips • Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit. • NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface units.
12 Home canning information To protect your cooktop: • Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. • Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area.
13 COIL ELEMENTS Caring for coil elements Your coil element cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your coil element cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and working like new.
14 Replacing 1. Make sure all surface units are off and cool before replacing surface units and reflector bowls. 2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl with the surface unit receptacle. 3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible with the terminal just started into the receptacle.

You will see the element cycling on (glowing red) and off – even on HI setting – to maintain the proper tempera- ture setting you have selected.

26 Grilling tips (continued) • If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the grill control knob to a lower setting. • Grease drippings will ignite occasionally to produce harmless puffs of flame for a second or two.
