IMPORTANT:

 To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface 

and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each 

use to remove all soils.

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel. 

When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the 

Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is 

located on the display panel.
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface 

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking 

area is turned off.

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)

The Dual Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the 

size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as 

a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and 

outer elements and is recommended for larger size cookware.

Melt Cooking Element (on some models)

The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of 

settings between HI and MELT. The Hi heat option can be used to 

boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be 

used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature. 

Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element. 

Cookware

IMPORTANT: 

Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 

cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a 

well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 

thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper 

may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used 

as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat 

is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish 

has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, 

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the 

properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the 

broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across 

the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space 

or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 

characteristics.
