USING THE
SURFACE ELEMENTS
Coil element cooktop
models:
The temperature of the cooktop surface
increases with the number of elements
that are on. With 3 or 4 elements turned
on, surface temperatures are high and
caution should be exercised when
around the cooktop.
l
Drip bowls should be used at all times. Do
not use aluminum foil to cover drip bowls.
Use of aluminum foil could result in a shock
hazard, improper cooking, or damage to the
element.
l
Prolonged use of elements without pots can
cause damage and early failure.
l
Use of round bottom woks is not
recommended.
See pages 31 and 32 for care and cleaning
instructions
Simmer element
(on some models)
Identified on the disc in the centre of the
element, this element can maintain lower
temperatures for preparation of foods which
require very low heat (e.g. sauces, chocolate,
cheese).

Glass ceramic cooktop elements
Quick light radiant heating elements
The quick light radiant heating elements are
designed for fast heat response. You can see
them light up in just seconds.
These elements consist of a set of special heater
coils embedded in a thermal insulation material.
Each element is fitted with a thermal limiter to
ensure the glass ceramic does not exceed the
maximum safe operating temperature specified by
the glass ceramic manufacturer. You may notice
the element going on and off a number of times
during use. This is a normal occurrence.
To maximize the efficiency of this type of heater,
we suggest you use it similarly to your previous
element type. Turn to maximum until the desired
temperature is reached, then turn it down to the
setting that best maintains the desired heat.
NOTE:
1. Sliding metal pans on the glass
ceramic cooktop surface may leave
marks. If the elements are not hot,
metal marks can be removed using
Cooktop Polishing Creme. Other marks
may be permanent. Wiping off the
cooktop after each use will eliminate
stains and provide the most even
heating.
2. Using a pan with a nicked or scratched
bottom may damage the glass ceramic
cooktop. Heating a soiled pan may
leave a stain on the cooktop.
See pages 33 and 34 for care and
cleaning suggestions.
