U sing and Caring for Your Cooktop

Using the dual-size surface

cooking area

(some models)

You can use the right rear surface cooking

area as either a small diameter, lower

wattage element or large diameter, full

wattage element.

To use the small element

(for smaller pans):

• Push in and turn the control knob to the

left (counterclockwise) to the desired

setting in the area marked “SINGLE.”

To use both elements

(for larger pans):

• Push in and turn the control knob to the

right (clockwise) to the desired setting in

the area marked “DUAL.”

NOTE: You can turn the control knob in

either direction to reach “OFF.”

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop

is almost the same as 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 temperature setting you choose.

• 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 cooktop” in

the “Caring for Your Range” section.

• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

• Lift pots and pans onto and off of the

cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the

cooktop could leave marks that are

difficult to remove or could leave

permanent marks.

• 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.

• Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

• Do not allow anything that could melt,

such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come in

contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

• 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.

• Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.

See “Cleaning the cooktop” in the “Caring

for Your Range” section.
