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 it is
hot. On Frost models, the smoothtop will have a slight
pink or green tint. This is normal and will disappear when
the surface cools.
Smoothtop Surface
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The Hot Surface indicator lights are located next to the
elements. These lights indicate when the adjacent cooking
area is hot to the touch even after the control has been
turned off.
The red light will remain on until the surface
has cooled.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
patterns 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 High.

Warming Zone
(select models)
Use the Warming Zone to keep cooked foods warm, such as
vegetables and gravies.
Press the
Warm Zone
pad to turn on the
element, then press the
Quickset
pad for
HIGH or LOW. To turn off, press the
Warm
Zone
pad
once
. An icon may light as a reminder
that the Warming Zone is in use.
Important:
•
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.
Notes:
• Use only cookware recommended as safe for oven and
cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the
Warming Center as cookware will be hot.
• All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain food quality.
•
Do not
use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.
To operate, push in on the control knob and turn to the
right
to control the small element, or push to the
left
to control the
large element.
Custom Control
(select models)
The Custom Control Dual Element
offers two element sizes and is located
in the left front position. This element
uses an electronic sensor to constantly monitor and adjust
heat output for precise and consistent temperature control.
Triple Element
(select models)
The cooking surface has one triple
element located in the right front
position. This element can be used
for larger cooking utensils when the
triple element is chosen, or for
smaller pans when the single or dual
settings are chosen. To operate the
single element, push in the control
knob and rotate to the
left
. To
operate the dual or triple elements,
make the selection with the rocker
switch and rotate the control knob to
the
right.
Tips to Protect the
Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning
(see page 6 for more information)

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
