KitchenAid KERS303BWH Manual Do Proprietário

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. 
Push in and turn to setting.

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. It will also randomly cycle 
off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop 
from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of 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.

■

Cooktops with an Even-Heat™ Ultra element provide the best 
speed to boil and simmering performance for large pans. For 
pans 10 inches and larger use the Even-Heat™ Ultra element at 
the “Ultra Hi” setting for fastest boiling performance.  For best 
low heat performance on pans 10 inches and larger use the 
Even-Heat™ Ultra element at the “Even Heat Simmer” setting.

■

For cooktops with two dual elements in the front positions, the 
fastest boiling performance for pots 10 inches and larger will be 
on the larger dual element with both elements on “Dual Hi.”  For 
best low heat performance on pans 10 inches and larger, use 
the smaller dual element set at “Single Lo.”

■

For best melting performance with small pans, use the Even-
Heat™ element.

■

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.

■

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry 
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when 
heated.

■

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.

■

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on 
the cooktop.

No keypads will function with the controls locked.
1. Check that the oven and the Timer are off. 
2. Press and hold the “0” keypad for 3 seconds.
