IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SURFACE COOKING • Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing cookware. • Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. • Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. • Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

Le givre sur les aliments surgelés ou l’humidité sur les aliments frais peuvent occasionner un bouillonnement de matières grasses chaudes et un débordement de la casserole.
Features of Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Design information (Not all features are on all models. Appearance may vary.
Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Electronic ignition & automatic reignition Your surface burners are equipped with electronic ignition which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Dual-flame burners All burners on the cooktop have two separate flames: a simmer (lower) flame and a main (upper) flame. Simmering: Use simmer (SIM) to melt chocolate, hold delicate sauces or for other foods requiring low simmer heat. Primary Cooking: Settings from LO to X-HI will use both the main and simmer flames. Use LO to HI for all purpose cooking. Use HI or X-HI (highest setting) with 10″ or larger diameter cookware.
Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Grilling hints • When turning the meat over, always use a spatula as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juices to run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat after it has been cooked. • Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry.
Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Seasoning the griddle Before using the griddle for the first time, it must be seasoned. If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be reseasoned.

Dry thoroughly. 4 Turn the control knob to a medium setting (350°F). Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooktop Control panel and knobs Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Stainless steel Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

MISE EN CAUSE : N’UTILISEZ PAS DE BRÛLEUR QUI N’A PAS TOUTES SES PIÈCES EN PLACE. The electrode of the spark ignitor is behind each burner. When one burner is turned to “ON” to light, all the burners spark.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooktop Burner caps Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth–don’t reassemble them wet. Replace the burner caps. Burner grates Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly and especially after spillovers.
Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooktop Griddle (on some models) Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged spatula, while it is still hot. Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If desired, wash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
