Cooktop Use; Important - Sears Kenmore 664.9512 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

WARNING
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.
Push in and turn to setting.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is
ON. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow
red when an element is ON. This is normal operation. The
element will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even
while on HI, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot.
As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches,
pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic
glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also
recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop
Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed
to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to
the "Range Care" section for additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop
surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop
after each use to remove all soils.

COOKTOP USE

Fire Hazard
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
■
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
■
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass
could break when the lid is removed.
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 using a scraper 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.
To avoid scratches, 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.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
■
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
■
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the 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
outside the area.

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.
