HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
WITH YOUR OLD ONE?
Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units.
If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other
types of electric cooktops, you will notice some
differences when you use electric coils. The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between electric coil surface units and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop Description How It Works
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking
tubing containing results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant
electric resistance or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or
wire suspended induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are
over a drip pan. turned off.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the
(Glass Cooktop) under a glass bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking

Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by
induction coils a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat
under a glass settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is

Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking

you want the cooking to stop.
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans
gas burners use should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings

or natural gas.
PREPARATION
Flooring Under the Range Leveling the Range
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the
range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on
a 1/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows: When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the same level or higher
than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing. For complete
information, see the Installation Instructions.
Please check your range to insure all packaging
materials and protective tape covering are removed
from areas, such as the door trim, cooktop frame, end
caps, etc., before using.
Leveling screws are located on each corner of the
base of the range. Remove the bottom drawer and
you can level the range on an uneven floor with the
use of a nutdriver.
To remove drawer, pull the drawer out all the way,
tilt up the front and take it out. To replace drawer,
insert glides at back of drawer beyond stop on range
glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let
front of drawer down, then push in to close.
One of the rear leveling screws will engage the Anti-
Tip device (allow for some side to side adjustment).
Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8
″
between the range
and the leveling screw that is to be installed into the
Anti-Tip device.
