Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
• Is the cooktop wired correctly to a
live circuit with the proper voltage?
(See Installation Instructions.)
• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
If surface units will not operate or
seem to cook too slow:
• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Is the surface unit control knob
turned to a setting other than OFF?
• Are you using the proper cook-
ware? See page 6.
• Do the control knobs turn?
If surface unit control knob(s) will
not turn:
• Did you push in before trying to turn?
If cooking results aren't what you
expected:
• Is the cooktop level?
• Are the pans the size called for in the
recipe?
• Are you following a tested recipe
from a reliable source?
• Do the cooking utensils have
smooth, flat bottoms and fit the sur-
face unit being used?
• Are you allowing time for a longer
warm-up and cool-down?
See the Cooking Guide for more infor-
mation on cooking problems and
how to solve them.
