SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use this cooktop only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
  • Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
  • Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
  • Before performing any service, unplug the cooktop or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
  • Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.

CAUTION

  • Do not store items of interest to children above the cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
  • Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in bums from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
  • Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the MOM.
  • Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces may be hot enough to bum even though they are dark in color During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface elements or areas nearby the surface elements; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
  • Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
  • Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
  • Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an intemal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE COOKTOP
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

  • Do not store or use flammable materials near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
  • Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the cooktop. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
  • Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooktop. Grease on the cooktop may ignite.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • In the event of a fire, do not use water or grease on fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or a foam-type fire extinguisher.
  • Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
  • Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
  • To avoid spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
  • Use the proper pan size – select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
  • To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
  • Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
  • Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
  • Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
  • Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
  • Use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.
    NOTE: Sugary spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on. Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: This cooktop has Rapid Response surface units. The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool down to the desired power level setting in the quickest time possible. While the surface units are on, you may not see them glow red during certain heat up or cool down conditions.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
CAFE CEP90301TBB 30 Inch Electric Smart Cooktop - Cooktop Features
1Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass-the glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball& and Kerr€ and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service. Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
Heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
Recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware: Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron: Not recommended—unless designed specifically for glass cooktops Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.

For Best Results

  • Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
  • Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
  • We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
  • Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

Element Cycling
Surface elements will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature you have selected. All radiant surface elements have a temperature limiter that protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot, this is normal. The temperature limiter may cycle the elements off more frequently if:

  • The pan boils dry.
  • The pan bottom is not flat.
  • The pan is off-center.
  • There is no pan on the element.
