Using Your Cooktop
Using the ceramic glass cooktop
The right front and left rear surface units
feature halogen elements. These elements
light up as soon as you turn them on and are
brighter than regular coil elements.
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is
similar to cooking on coil elements. There are,
however, a few differences:
The surface cooking area will glow red
when the element is turned on. You will see
the element cycling on and off – even on the
HI setting – to help the area stay at the
temperature setting you chose.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn that comes in
prepackaged aluminum containers on the
cooktop. The container could leave
aluminum marks on the cooktop that
cannot be removed completely.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before using them. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
Lift pots and pans onto and off of the
cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cook-
top could leave marks that are difficult to
remove or could leave permanent marks.
Dropping a heavy or hard object on the
cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using
heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store
jars or cans above the cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Do not allow anything that could melt, such
as plastic, to come in contact with the cook-
top while it is hot.

Using the dual size surface unit
(Models KECC508G, YKECC508G,
KECC568G, YKECC568G)
You can use the left front surface unit as
either a small diameter, lower wattage
element (center inner ring) for smaller pans
or as a large diameter, full wattage element
(entire element to outer ring) for larger pans.
Use both elements
for larger pans
Use inner element
for small pans
To use the small or inner element:
Touch SINGLE ON/OFF. The HI and LO
lights will blink on and off indicating a
choice of either HI or LO power selection.
Touch the arrow pointing to HI for high
power.
Touch the arrow pointing to LO for low
power.
To use both elements:
Touch DUAL ON/OFF and proceed the
same as for SINGLE ON/OFF.
To turn the entire element on, touch
DUAL ON/OFF. The HI and LO lights will
blink on and off indicating a choice of
either HI or LO power selection.
Touch the arrow pointing to HI for high
power.
Touch the arrow pointing to LO for low
power.
NOTE: You may switch between SINGLE
and DUAL element operation at any time an
element is in operation simply by touching
SINGLE or DUAL.
