They could be burned or injured.

DO NOT

store things children

might want above the cooktop.

Children could be burned or

injured while climbing on it.

3. DO NOT allow anyone to touch

hot surface units. Dark colored

units can still be hot enough to

burn severely.

4. KEEP children away from the

cooktop when it is on. The cook-

top and surrounding area can

get hot enough to cause burns.

5. DO NOT use the cooktop to

heat a room. Persons in the room

could be burned or injured or a

fire could start.

6. KEEP pan handles turned in, but

not over another surface unit to

avoid burns, injury and to prevent

the utensil from being pushed

off the cooktop.

7. DO NOT use water on grease

fires. The fire will spread. Cover fire

with large lid or smother with

baking soda or salt.

8. 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.

9. DO NOT heat unopened con-

tainers. They could explode. The

Solid Element

Surface Units

Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even

cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter. The limiter senses

uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces the heat setting.

The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dn/, when a pan does not

have a flat bottom, or when a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on.

Solid elements hold heat longer than conventional surface units. For best

cooking results, use a high setting for only a very short period of time. Then

use a lower setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid

element OFF a few minutes before you are finished cooking.

CAUTION: Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the Hi

sefflng for long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when

cooking is done. Burned tood and damage to the cookware could

result.

Untti you get used to the sefflngs, use the following as a guide.

shortening.

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boilovers

and hot handles.

Only use pans with fiat bottoms.

Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between

the pans and the surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms

or with a raised pattern on the bottom are not suitable. Flatness of a pan can be

checked by placing an edge of a ruler across it. There should not be space

between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or

ridged bottoms.

NOTE:if pan bottoms are not fiat, the protective limiter will sense uneven

cooking temperatures and reduce the heat setting. lhls will resuit in longer

cooking times.

See the “Cooking Guide” for important utensil information.

Solid Element Surface Units

3. IMPORTANT:

After cleaning,

apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to

the CCCL surface units, then heat

3-5 minutes.

DO NOT

leave ele-

ments unattended while ON. Oil

may smoke slightly when heated.

If surface units have dark spots

caused by grease and food, the

oil treatment will improve their ap-

pearance but not eliminate the

spots. NOTE:Optional Eiectroi

dressing can be applied to the

surtace units to improve their

appearance.

2. For best results, wipe off surface

units with a damp soft cloth and

soapy water after each use.

Burned-on food may be removed

with a soapy scouring pad. The

red spot in the center of the sur-

face unit will gradually wash off.

This is normal and will not affect

the operation of the surface unit.

4. The stainless steel trim rings will

gradually yellow from the heat

of the surface units and pans. This

is normal. The yellowing can be

removed by using stainless steel

cleaner or Cook Top Polishing

Creme on the trim rings.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result

from little things you can find and fix

yourself without tools of any kind.

if nothing operates:

Is the cooktop wired correctly to a

live circuit with the proper voltage?

(See “Installation Instructions:‘)

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

if surface units will not operate

or seem to cook too slow:

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the surface unit control knob

turned to a setting other than OFF?

Are you using the proper cook-

ware? See page 6.

Do the control knobs turn?

if surface unit control knob(s)

will not turn:

Did you push in before trying to turn?

if cooking results aren’t what

you expected:

Is the cooktop level?

Are the pans the size called for in the

recipe?

Are you following a tested recipe

from a reliable source?

Do the cooking utensils have

smooth, flat bottoms and fit the sur-

face unit being used?

Are you allowing time for a longer

warm-up and cool-down?

See the

Cooklng Guide

for more infor-

mation on cooking problems and

how to solve them.
