Cooking Chart
All these settings are recommended without the element being preheated. Use
this chart as a guide.
A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:
1. type and quality of pan
2. type, quantity and temperature of the food
3. element used
4. the cook’s preference.
208/240 Volt Connection
The Heat Settings recommended on this page are based on a 240 volt power
source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but
foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.
Care and Cleaning
Before Use Care
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small
amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme® (packaged with cooktop) on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food
spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities
of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply
Cooktop Cleaning Creme® before each use to remove dust or metal marks that
can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.
