COOKTOP USE

Downdraft Ventilation System

NOTE: Electronic touch control model is shown.

The downdraft ventilation system consists of a vent cover, ﬁlter,

and vent fan. The downdraft ventilation system removes cooking

vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft

ventilation system with the ﬁlter properly installed.

To avoid the buildup of grease, the ﬁlter should be cleaned often.

For more information on proper ﬁlter placement and cleaning, see

“Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.

To Use – Electronic Touch Control:

1. Touch 3 SPEED once for High mode, twice for Medium mode,

or three times for Low mode. A beep will sound each time

3 Speed is touched.

2. When cooking is completed, touch OFF to turn the

downdraft system off, or touch and hold 3 SPEED for

approximately 4 seconds to set the downdraft ventilation

system to Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, the

downdraft ventilation system will shut off automatically

after 10 minutes.

To Use – Knob Control:

Turn vent fan knob to LO, or HI, or to the midpoint for Medium.

Turn vent fan knob to OFF when ﬁnished cooking or when the

cooktop is not in use.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface

cooking areas, elements, or surface burners between batches.

This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or

element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more

than

" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements,

or surface burners at the same time.

■ Use only ﬂat-bottomed canners.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning

products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element, or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a ﬂat bottom, straight sides, and a

well-ﬁtting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness.

Rough ﬁnishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper

may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used

as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or

grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick ﬁnish has

the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick ﬁnish will take on the

properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material

characteristics.
