ABOUT THE CE M(C G SS COOKTOP

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

[] [] [] [] []

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1

&2).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware.

Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings a re all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the OFF cycle. For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

COOKWARE MATERIAL TYPES

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The cookwa re material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials avalaible are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scatches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST iRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAiN-ENAMEL

on

METAL - Heating characteristics

will vary depending on base material, Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended

Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores.

Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.

The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack or break.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop.

Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buffsurface clean.

CLEANINGRECOMMENDATIONS G SS

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils must be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated on previous page). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

*

Do not use abrasive

cleaners and scouring

pads, such as metal

and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making

it

more difficult to clean.

*

Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

* Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can

leave soil

or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.

Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Pans having a flat bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
