IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR COOKTOP

!

• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot cooking areas.

• This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Always use utensils that have flat bottoms and that are large enough to cover the whole cooking area. The use of a utensil smaller than the size of the cooking area will expose a portion of the heated area to direct contact with the user which could result in burns.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

• Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop. This will help prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and ignition of flammable materials.

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. Use low to medium settings to heat oil slowly.

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high heat settings. Boil-overs can cause smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.

• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

• Other than the use of metal pans, only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. These types of utensils may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

!

CAUTION

The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to warm or heat a room.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot top with the metal razor blade scraper only.

Do not use a wet sponge or cloth while it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified servicer in accordance with the Installation

Instructions provided with the cooktop.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.

• Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food being prepared.

• Do not place any hot cookware on the control panel area,

• Clean the ventilation system above or behind the cooktop frequently, so that grease from the cooking vapors does not accumulate on the filters, fan, intake, or hood.

• To prevent elements from accidentally being turrned on, lock the cooktop when it is not in use and before cleaning. (See Locking the Cooktop, Page

8.)

CET/CEP Cooktop Care and Use Manual Cooktop Operating Instructions

Cooktop Operating Instructions

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Remove all packing materials and literature from the cooktop surface.

• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

• Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme ® packaged with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth. (See Page

14 for daily care instructions.)

• There may be a slight odor during the first several uses; this is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used. (See Page 12.)

• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

• Read all safety precautions and Care & Use Manual information prior to operating.

PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG LIFE AND

GOOD APPEARANCE OF THE SURFACE:

• Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning

Creme ® will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

• Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.

• Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass surface; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.

• Never cook food directly on the glass.

• Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass surface.

• Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

• Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.

• Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Element “ON” Indicator Light

The element “ON” indicator light glows whenever any element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of the elements are turned off.

The “ON” light is located to the left of the Power Pad.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. After the element is turned off, an “H” will appear in the element display. The H remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.

If an H is lit inside the element display, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

RETAINED HEAT

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time.

LOCKING THE COOKTOP

The Panel Lock is selected to prevent the control pads from being turned on. Touch PANEL LOCK Pad, light flashes and beep sounds. Hold for 3 seconds to activate.

A beep will sound and the panel lock light stays lit indicating that the cooktop is locked.

To unlock, touch PANEL LOCK Pad and hold for 3 seconds. A beep will sound and the light will go out indicating the cooktop is unlocked.

The cooktop cannot be locked when a surface element is operating.

It is recommended to lock the cooktop when not in use and for cleaning.

PAGE 8

CET/CEP Cooktop Care and Use Manual

Cooktop Operating Instructions

The Elements

RADIANT ELEMENTS

This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass-ceramic surface to provide the heat for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and off by design. (See Temperature Limiters, below.)

There are ten heat settings ranging from 9 (high) to keep warm (L).

DUAL ELEMENT

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be selected for use.

TRIPLE ELEMENT (Select Models)

The triple element consists of three radiant ribbon elements within the the same heating area. Either the small inner element, the inner and middle elements or the inner, middle and outer elements may be selected.

BRIDGE ELEMENT

(36" and 45" Models Only)

The Bridge element consists of 3 separate elements that can be operated in 2 different ways:

• Use of either one or both of the circular elements independently.

• Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge element simultaneously with a single control.

When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles, open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a flat bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely as possible.

BRIDGE OPERATION

To use the Bridge elements, touch center area between the two elements in the control panel area.

Touch cook setting indicator.

To use single elements separately;

• Touch the element display for appropriate element.

• Touch cook setting indicator.

KEEP WARM

Each element has a Keep Warm setting. The main function of the Warming feature is to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperatures. Keep Warm is not for cooking foods.

To use the Keep Warm feature:

• Touch desired element display.

• Touch PAN SIZE pad, if needed,

• Touch Keep Warm Pad

• “ L ” will appear in element display.

The lower power of the element makes it practical to warm a serving platter before adding the hot food, or to keep a casserole hot for second helpings.

Keep Warm Guidelines

• Use pans/utensils with flat bases. Plates, platters, and casseroles with a shallow ridge around the base can be used provided they are made of heatsafe material.

• Keep dish covered to keep foods hot.

• Choose pans and utensils that may be safely used on a hot surface. Example: Use CorningWare ®

safe for rangetop” rather than Pyrex ® “not

recommended for cooktop use”.

• Use a trivet or steamer basket inside a pan when necessary to raise food off bottom of the pan. Use a small amount of water to steam tortillas. Do not use a trivet directly on the cooktop.

TEMPERATURE LIMITERS

Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.

Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:

• The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).

• The pan is too small for the size of the element.

• The pan has boiled dry.

• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.

• No pan has been placed on the element. (CET

ZONE SMART™ Pan sensing and Sizing

(CEP models only)

Pan Sensing

Each element has sensors under the glass ceramic panel which detect if there is a metallic pan (saucepan, skillet, stockpot, etc.) sitting on the element. The element will heat up when it is turned on and the sensor detects the presence of a pan. This feature is either on or off for all elements and works together with the Pan sizing feature.

The element will not heat if it is turned on without a pan present or if the pan is removed from the element when it is operating. If no pan is present on the element, a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After 10 minutes, the cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan is placed on the element.

Using Proper Cookware

COOKWARE

Characteristics

The choice of pans directly affects the cooking speed and uniformity. For best results select pans with the following features:

FLAT BASES - When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium to heavy pans are best.

Custom Accessory Griddle

An anodized aluminum griddle with a flat base and sized to span the bridge elements is available. The accessory griddle, Model AEGRIDDLE, is available from your local Thermador dealer.

To test the flatness of your pans:

Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be flush against each other.

Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to place

1” water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.

DIAMETER – The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used. Pans may overhang the element area by 1" all around.

TIGHT FITTING LID – A lid shortens cooking time by holding the heat inside the pan.

SPECIALTY PANS

Specialty pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. (Use only a flat-bottom wok.)

CAUTION

Foods packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for cooking; aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent damage.

CAUTION

• Plastic, paper and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot surface. Do not let these items come in contact with the hot glass ceramic surface.

Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can permanently damage the pan, the element and the cooktop glass.

Cleaning Guide

DAILY CLEANING TECHNIQUES BEFORE USE CARE

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning

Creme ® on a daily basis.

This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters.

Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme ® before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.

The temperature of the cooking surface during use reduces the protective qualities of the Cleaning Creme®, so it must be re-applied regularly to maintain the appearance of the cooktop.

RECOMMENDED CLEANERS

• Cooktop Cleaning Crème ® (packaged with

cooktop) – This removes soil and provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use to prevent spatter and small food particles from baking on the surface.

Use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel. Use on a DAILY basis.

• BonAmi ® : rinse and dry.

• Soft Scrub ® (without bleach): rinse and dry.

• Vinegar: rinse and dry.

• Razor blade scraper (packaged with cooktop)

* The recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner and do not constitute an endorsement.

AVOID THESE CLEANERS

• GLASS CLEANERS which contain ammonia

or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or stain the cooktop.

• CAUSTIC CLEANERS

Oven cleaners such as Easy Off ® may etch the cooktop surface.

• ABRASIVE CLEANERS

Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as

Scotch Brite ® can scratch and / or leave metal marks.

Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS ® can scratch the surface.

Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain the cooktop.

Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or

WD-40.

1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the following exception.

2. Remove these soils IMMEDIATELY with the razor blade scraper:

Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato Products, Milk

How to use a Razor Blade Scraper

!

CAUTION:

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health.

Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

3. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

Use Daily

4. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop

Cleaning Crème ® . When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

CET/CEP Cooktop Care and Use Manual

Cooktop Care and Maintenance

Special Care Chart

TYPE OF SOIL

Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.

Melted plastic film or foil. All these items

REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.

Remove only these types of spills while the

surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. See illustration on Page 14.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.

Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks

Greasy spatters

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Failure to remove these soils immediately can permanently damage the surface.

• Remove pan and turn off the element.

• Wearing an oven mitt, angle the scraper slightly, using care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area.

• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme ® .

• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for about 30 minutes.

• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning

Creme ® or use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.

• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning

Creme ® .

Metal marks: Iridescent stain

Hard Water Spots

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface has cooled, with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. If this does not remove the metal marks, try a mild abrasive

(Bon Ami ® , Soft Scrub ® without bleach) with a dampened paper towel; rinse; and reapply creme.

Failure to remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.

• The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with

Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

Remove boil overs and stains, before using the cooktop again.

Surface scratches:

Small scratches are to be expected on the glass surface, but do not affect cooking. In time, small scratches will become smoother and much less noticeable with daily use of the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

• Apply cleaning creme before using to remove sandlike grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.

• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use recommended Cooktop Cleaning Creme daily on the cooktop.

BE CAREFUL: Diamond (and other gemstone) rings will scratch the surface.
