Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays. • NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst. • NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements. • NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it. 4 Surface Cooking Smoothtop Surface Smoothtop Surface Notes: • Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal. • Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements. • In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface. • Never attempt to lift the cooktop. • The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools. Cooking Areas The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi. For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 6 . WARMING ZONE DUAL ELEMENT SINGLE ELEMENT SINGLE ELEMENT Hot Surface Light The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the control panel. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled. Warming Zone Use the Warming Zone to keep hot cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates. Setting the Control: 1. Push in and turn the knob. Warming temperatures are approximate and are indicated on the control as Min, 2-7 and Max. However, the control can be set to any position between Min and Max. 2. When done, turn the control to OFF and remove food. The Hot Surface indicator light will go off when the Warming Zone surface has cooled. Notes: • Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate. • Do not heat cold food on the Warming Zone. • Heat settings will vary depending on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140°-170° F. Suggested Settings Setting Type of food Min - 2 Breads/Pastries Casseroles Gravies Eggs 2 - 5 Dinner Plate with Food Soups (Cream) Vegetables Sauces Stews Meats 5 - Max Fried Foods Soups (Liquid) Hot Beverages Warming Zone Notes: • Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use. • Always use oven mitts when removing food from the Warming Zone as cookware and plates will be hot. • All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality. • When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. • Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean. Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface Cleaning (see page 18 for more information) • Before first use, clean the cooktop. • Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. • If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel. 5 Surface Cooking • Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time. • Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop. • Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic. To Prevent Marks & Scratches • Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface. • Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top. • Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 18.) • Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches. • To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using. • Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scra...
