Installation Instructions

Before Using Your Appliance:

1. Inspect the product for any damage.

Installation Steps:
A. Countertop Preparation:

• Ensure the maximum depth of overhead cabinets is 13 inches (to avoid interference).

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

OPERATING YOUR COOKTOP
Any burner can be turned on by pushing the control knob down and turning it clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired setting. To adjust the setting, turn the knob without pressing down. The burner is turned off by turning the control knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to “OFF”.

OPERATING INDICATORS
When the burner is turned on, the corresponding operating indicator will light up regardless of the setting.

WARNING Do not touch or lay any heat-sensitive objects on the cooktop while the operating indicator is still on. Danger of burns and fire hazard!

COOKWARE SELECTION

• Pots and pans
  Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance. Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop.

  • For the most even and energy-efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible.
  • Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.
  • Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time.
  • Copper-bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. This is normal. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade.
  • Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the surface.

• CAUTION: Be sure to clean the cooktop after each use. Each time the residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
