HOW DOES THISCOOKTOP COMPARE TO YOUR OLD ONE? Your new cooktop may have one of several types of cooking surface units. You will notice some differences when you use each one. The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have. The following chart will help you to understand the differences between your new cooktop and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
HALOGEN/RADIANT SURFACE UNIT CONTROLS Halogen Surface Unit The controls selected for the halogenhadiant component will give you a full range of heat settings for cooking. The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off(0), they may be turned without pushing down. You may notice that the knob that operates the halogen surface unit is slightly harder to turn than the knob for the radiant surface unit.
GAS BURNER CONTROLS See the Gas Burner Component section. The gas burnercontrols must tum counterclockwise to the LITE position to ignite the burner. Once the burner is ignited, turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust the flame lower. A sparking sound caused by the igniter is normal until ignition occurs. The burners will relight at any setting.
HALOGEN/RADIANT COMPONENT General Information About Halogen/Radiant Surface Units The halogen/radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass ceramic surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier. NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time.
HALOGEN/R.ADIA.NT COMPONENT (continued) Vpes of Cookware The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel: highly recommended Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution). Aluminum: heavy weight recommended Good conductivity.
● Place only @ pans on the surface units. Do not place lids on the surface units, particularly wet lids. s 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 unit to insure proper contact. ● ● Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on halogenhadiant surface units.
HOME CA.NNINGTIPS Canning cannot be done on the grill or griddle components. Observe the Following Points in Canning 1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your range or its location does not aIlow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results. 2. On the glass cooktop, flat bottomed canners must be used.
USINGYOUR GAS BURNER COMPONENT The ZGW124 and ZGW125 gas cooktops are not convertible to LP gas. They are designed to operate on natural gas only. This component has one large 1O,5OO-BTUburner and one smaller 6,000-BTU burner. When a downdraft vent is used next to a gas component, food will cook faster if you use a low vent setting and keep the pan covered (if recipe allows).
USING YOUR GAS BURNER COMPONENT (continued) How to Select Flame Size Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the handle. Cookware Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Burner Assembly CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS CORRECTLY IN PLACE. The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, afier spillovers. Turn all the controls off and wait until all component parts are cool before removing burner parts. See the Care and Cleaning section. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the top of the burner is removed. Contact with an exposed igniter while a burner is being turned on will cause a slight electrical shock.
GRILL COMPONENT (continued) What to do if a Flame-Up Occurs To control flame-ups, set heat setting at LO, rather than off (0). If you have a bad flame-up and there is danger of the fire spreading, take the following steps immediately: 1. Turn the grill controls to off (0), and turn the downdraft vent control to HI. If you are using an overhead updraft vent hood, turn it off until the flame-up stops. NOTE: c NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. Water will spread the flames.
Grill Tips . Do not leave grill unattended while it is in use. “ Use the ~gill ONLY with the downdraft vent blower on HI to carry away smoke and fumes. . Remove accumulated grease from the nonremovable grease well after each use to lessen smoking and odors. Be sure opening to grease tube is clean. Grease buildup can become a fire hazard. Make sure the removable grease collector jar and drip pan are clean and in place before using the grill.
GRILL COOKING GUIDE Do not leave the cooktop unattended during . Before cooking steaks, slash the fat around “preheat>>(knobs turned to ‘W.P7)or anytime the the edges to prevent curling of the meat. . Suggested cooking times should be used only as a guide, since variables in food can change the cooking times. . Foods should be turned over and rearranged as needed. knobs are turned to “HI” with food on the grill or griddle. Most foods will be grilled on the HI setting.
GRIDDLE ACCESSORY See the Griddle Cooking Guide. Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extralarge cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other foods usually prepared in a frying pan or electric skillet. You can also use the griddle as a warming tray by using a low-heat setting. me griddle has its own integal cooking element- The control marked GRIDDLE changes the temperature over the entire surface.
GRIDDLE ACCESSORY (continued) Griddle Tips Condition or “season” griddle before first-time use. Most griddled foods are those that require cooking on a preheated surface. The ~tiddle surface may be Oreased lightly before adding food. Preheat the & griddle 5 minutes at HI heat setting, unless otherwise indicated in the Griddle Cooking Guide, then switch to the recommended cook setting. . Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or sausage, may be started on a cold ~tiddle.
GRIDDLE COOKING GUIDE Do not leave the cooktop unattended during “preheat” (knobs turned to “HI”) or anytime the knobs are turned to “HI” with food on the griil or griddle. Most foods will be cooked on the griddle on the HI setting. Some foods need to be cooked at lower settings. . Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or rough or sharp edges which may damage the nonstick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle.
CARE AND CLEANING Proper care and cleaning are important so your Component Cooktop System will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully to help assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY COMPONENTS. Care of Components Some of the components must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time. Components and accessories should be cleaned after each use.
Halogen/Radiant Cooktop—G1ass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop follow these basic steps. Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier. DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme on Glass Ceramic. For normal, light soil: 1.
CARE AND CLEANING (continued) Gas Burner Assembly The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and after spillovers. Turn all control knobs to the off (0) position before removing burner parts and the drip pan. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS CORRECTLY IN PLACE. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner cap is removed. Contact with an exposed igniter while a burner is being turned on will cause a slight electrical shock.
Grill Component Clean the grill component after every use. Do not put the element into water. It cleans itself when heated during normal use. To remove any charred soil, clean with a dry, stiff brush when the element is cool. Never use steel wool or metal scouring pads because they may damage the outer casing of the element. Wash the grill grate in the sink in soap and water. The grate may be soaked in a solution of dishwasher detergent and hot water. Use a non-metal scouring pad if necessary.
CARE AND CLEANING (continued) How to Clean the Vent System The downdraft vent grille and filter should be cleaned frequently— after every use is best. Before cleaning the vent system, be sure exhaust blower is shut off. To remove parts for cleaning: 1. Lift off the vent ~tille. 2. Rotate the latch away from the solid edge of the filter to free the filter. Pull out the aluminum grease filter. How to Clean the Vent Grille To clean the vent ~tille, remove it from the cooktop by lifting it up.
THE PROBLEM SOL~R PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE COMPONENTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house caused by a blown circuit fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, the main fise or the main circuit breaker, depending on the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the circuit fuse (a cartridge-type) should be changed, BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.
