or hanging garments should never

be worn while using the cook-top.

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

•User Servicing – Do not repair or

replace any part of the cook-top

unless specifically recommended in

the manual. All other servicing should

be referred to a qualified technician.

•Storage on Cook-Top – Flammable

materials should not be stored near

surface units.

•Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –

Smother fire or flame or use dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or

damp potholders on hot surfaces may

result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS

OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface

units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units

may become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact surface units or areas

near units until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Among those areas are

the cook-top and surfaces facing the

cook-top.

•Use Proper Pan Size – This cook-top is

equipped with one or more surface units

of different size. Select utensils having

flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use

of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the heating element to direct

contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil

to burner will also improve efficiency.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended

at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils

are suitable for cook-top service without

breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned

Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent

Surface Units – To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials,

and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of

a utensil should be positioned so that it

is turned inward, and does not extend

over adjacent surface units.

•Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top –

If cook-top should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers may penetrate

the broken cook-top and create a risk

of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

•Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a

wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe

spills on a hot cooking area, be careful

to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners

can produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood –

•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –

Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on hood or filter.

•When flaming foods under the hood,

turn the fan off. The fan, if operating,

may spread the flame.

Using the ceramic glass

cooktop

USING YOUR COOKTOP

Home canning information

•Use the entire surface (“DUAL” setting)

of the left front surface cooking area for

best results. (Models GJC3034G,

YGJC3034G, and GJC3634G)

•Use flat-bottomed canners on all types

of cooktops, especially ceramic glass.

Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do

not allow good contact with the surface.

•Center the canner over the largest

surface cooking area. Do not extend more

than one inch outside the surface cooking

area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not

centered correctly, trap heat and can

cause damage to the cooktop.

Do not place your canner on two surface

cooking areas at the same time.

•The type of material the canner is made

of determines the length of heating time.

Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware

materials” chart later in this section for

more information.

•When canning for long periods of time,

allow elements and the surrounding

surfaces to cool down.

•Alternate use of the surface cooking

areas between batches or prepare small

batches at a time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid,

and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to

maintain a boil or required pressure levels

in a pressure canner.

•For up-to-date information on canning,

contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office

or companies who manufacture home

canning products.

•

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

similar to cooking on coil elements. There are,

however, a few differences:

•The surface cooking area will glow red

when the element is turned on. You will see

the element cycling on and off – even on the

HI setting – to help the area stay at the tem-

perature setting you chose.

•Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

•Do not cook popcorn that comes in

prepackaged aluminum containers on the

cooktop. The container could leave

aluminum marks on the cooktop that

cannot be removed completely.

•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans

are clean and dry before using them. Food

and water particles left on the bottoms can

leave deposits on the cooktop when it is

heated.

•Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cook-

top could leave marks that are difficult to re-

move or could leave permanent marks.

•Dropping a heavy or hard object on the

cooktop could crack it. Be careful when

using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not

store jars or cans above the cooktop.

•Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•Do not allow anything that could melt, such

as plastic, to come in contact with the cook-

top while it is hot.

•Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.

See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in

the “Caring for Your Range” section for more

information.

•Wiping off the cooktop before and after

each use will help keep the surface free from

stains and give you the most even heating.

See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in

the “Caring for Your Range” section for care

and cleaning suggestions.

USING YOUR COOKTOP

Cookware tips

• Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface cooking area. Cookware

should not extend more than 1 inch

(2.5 cm) outside the area.

• Cookware with non-stick finish has

heating characteristics of the base material.

• Check for rough spots on the bottom of

metal or glass cookware which will scratch

the ceramic glass surface.

•Use flat bottom cookware for best heat

• For best results and greater energy

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface cooking area. Cookware with

rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some

porcelain enamelware), or dented bottoms

could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

• Cookware designed with slightly indented

bottoms or small expansion channels can

be used.

conduction from the surface cooking area

to the cookware. Determine flatness with

the ruler test. Place the edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. Hold it

up to the light. No light should be visible

under the ruler. Rotate the ruler in all

directions and look for any light.

• Do not leave empty cookware, or

cookware that has boiled dry, on a hot

surface cooking area. The cookware

could overheat, causing damage to the

cookware or the surface cooking area.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan

material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the

best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or

ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel

or enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware

provides even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Caring for Your Cooktop

Cleaning the cooktop and control panel

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near this

appliance.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

This cooktop is designed for easy care.

However, ceramic glass cooktops need

to be maintained differently than standard

electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly

on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil

elements. Because of this, the surface should

be dust-free and soil-free before heating.

The Cooktop Polishing Creme included

with your cooktop, paper towels or a sponge

is all you need to clean your cooktop. For proper

cleaning methods, please review the “How to

keep your cooktop looking like new” chart.

Follow this chart after each use to ensure top

performance and to preserve that uniquely

elegant look.

NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.

Cleaning the control knobs

1. Make sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF.

2. Pull the control knobs straight off. Do not

remove seals under knobs. They keep

moisture and soil out of cooktop.

3. Wash control knobs with sponge and

warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry

with a soft cloth. Do not soak.

4. Replace control knobs by pushing them

firmly into place. Make sure all knobs

point to OFF.

NOTE: When cleaning, never use steel

wool, abrasives, or commercial oven

cleaners, which may damage the finish.
