Using the Schott Ceran
®
Smooth Top
Your Marathon electric range is engineered with two fast heating
large radiant
elements (8")
and two small radiant elements (6").
To operate the cooktop surface elements, select the surface element you would like to use and
simply push in and turn the knob to the desired heat setting between
"MIN" and MAX".
The
surface element controls are variable based on your cooking needs. To switch the surface
element "OFF", simply turn the corresponding surface element control to the
"OFF"
setting
position.
For your safety, the surface elements have an indicator light that will illuminate when one of the
elements are in use.
IMPORTANT:
To switch on, always push and turn the control knob slightly.

•
Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight fitting lids to conserve energy and
shorten
cooking times.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are
suitable for cooktop. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat
selections
when using glass cookware.
•
Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element
and
prevents spill overs from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller
pan than
the element is a waste of energy.
•
To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry
before coming in contact with the elements.
•
Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as soon as they cool to cut down on
clean up time. Be sure the surface elements or oven controls are
"OFF".
If a surface element stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough
or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils could result in
damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas.
Never leave an empty pot or pan, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.
The utensil could overheat and damage the utensils or surface unit. Always be sure
that all control knobs are turned to
"OFF"
and the indicator lights are
"OFF".
WARNING:
Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to
avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach your
cookware when in use.
WARNING! After use the Schott Ceran
®
cooktop surface may be hot. Caution must be taken at all times as
serious injury or fire may result. KEEP CHILDREN OUT OF REACH OF THE COOKTOP SURFACE AND OVEN
DOOR AT ALL TIMES
