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. Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the �General Cleaning� section. NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely. Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire 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.

To Remove:

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

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. Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used. Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass) The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the coil element terminal into the receptacle. 3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.
