3. The timer will start to count down after a few seconds. To change the time, touch the TIMER "up" or "down" pad. 4. When the countdown is finished, "00" flashes and a tone will sound. NOTE: When the power is restored after an outage, the timer will no longer be running. Tones Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: One tone ■ Valid pad press ■ Slider is moved to "0" power level ■ Slider is moved to "Boost" power level Three tones ■ End of Timer cycle Four tones ■ Invalid pad press Ceramic Glass Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner, cooktop cleaning pads and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, non-approved cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care" section for additional information. 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. ■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed. ■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks. ■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board. ■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable. A B C A. ½" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang B. Outer edge of cooktop C. Minimum pan size, if applicable ■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. ■ Determine 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. 1 2 3 1 4 5 6 2 7 8 3 9 1 0 1 1 4 1 2 1 3 5 1 4 1 5 1 6 6 1 7 1 8 7 1 9 2 0 ■ To determine which pan to use on which induction element, measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help determine which induction element would best fit your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller. ■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated. Cookware IMPORTANT: This range has induction cooktop elements. Pan size, material and positioning are very important to achieve the best results. See the "Induction Cooking" section before using the cooktop. Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking. Ferromagnetic materials include: ■ Enameled steel ■ Cast iron ■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking Non-ferromagnetic materials include: These types of pans will not work with induction cooking. ■ Stainless steel ■ Glass ■ Ceramic ■ Copper or aluminum pans 8
