Hi!

?ts and tips:

Foods cooked on the grill can spatter. It IS

Important to clean all parts after each use

See page 16

The heating element for the grill cleans

itself Do not put in water

lake the grill apartto clean and to remove

and store Do not stack when storing

Do not cover the grill completely with meat

Leave space between the food items to

allow proper smoke and steam removal

5. Use only nylon or plastic utensils Metal

can scratch the non-stick finish

Trim fats from meat before grllllng to pre-

vent excessive smoke and flare-up Meats

which normally have a high fat content

will produce more smoke and flare-up Fat

meats cook faster than lean meats

7. If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the

grill control knob to a lower setting

5. Using the Solid Element Module

Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results

and to prevent damage to the cooktop. Spe-

cialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms

(woks, ridged bottom canners ortea kettles) are

not recommended. Solid elements are made of

heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. These

elements hold heat longer than conventional type surface units. For best cooking results,

use a HIGH setting for a very short period; then use a LOW setting to complete the cooking.

Turn the element OFF a few minutes before you are finished cooking.

CAUTION: Solld elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the HI sefflng for long

perlods of tlme or leave pans on hot elements when cooklng Is done. Burned food

and damage to the cookware could result.

NOTE: A protective limiter is built into each solid element. If pan bottoms are not flat, it

will sense uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduce the heat setting. This

will result in longer cooking times. See “Cookware” on page 10.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide.

7. Using the Optional Smoothtop Module

Cooking on the optional smoothtop IS al-

most the same as cooking on surface units.

There are three differences you should know

about:

1. The cookware you use.

2. What to expect.

3. The care and cleaning.

Cooking...

The glass will take longer to heat up than a

regular surface unit. It will also take longer to

cool down. Turn off the unit a few minutes be-

fore you are finished cooking.

Do not use the smoothtop module for

canning.

Bottoms must be perfectly flat, with NO ridges,

rims, patterns, dents, roughness or scratches.

-Pans with uneven bottoms cause poor

cooking results and may damage the

smoothtop.

- Nicks and scratches on a pan can dam-

age the smoothtop.

Bottoms must be clean. Heating a soiled pan

can leave a stain on the smoothtop.

Sliding aluminum pans or foil, and copper

pans, on the smoothtop can leave marks.

Aluminum marks can be removed if they are

not heated. See page 15 for cleaning and

caring suggestions.

8. Cookware

I 1

Pans should be the same size or larger than the

elements to prevent boil-overs and hot

handles.

Only use pans with flat bottoms. Flat bottoms

allow maximum contact between the pans

and the elements for fast, even cooking. Pans

with uneven bottoms or raised patterns 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 edge and the bottom of the pan.

DO NOT USE trivets, woks with skirts or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.
