READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USINGYOUR COOKTOP
•
•
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam.Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch
hot cooking areas.
•
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary.Use low to medium settings to heat oil
slowly.
•
•
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different sizes. Always use utensils
that have flat bottoms and that are large enough
to cover the whole cooking area. The use of a
utensil smaller than the size of the cooking area
will expose a portion of the heated area to direct
contact with the user which could result in burns.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when using
high heat settings.Boil-overs can cause smoke and
possibly damage the cooktop.
•
•
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement
of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
Other than the use of metal pans,only certain types
of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for cooktop use.These types of utensils may break
with sudden temperature changes.Use only on low
or medium heat settings according to the utensil
manufacturer’s directions.
•
Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking
areas, or the edge of the cooktop.This will help
prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and ignition
of flammable materials.
•
Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must
be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the
hot top with the metal razor blade scraper only.
Do not use a wet sponge or cloth while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
CAUTION
!
The cooktop is for cooking.Never use
it to warm or heat a room.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified servicer in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions provided with the cooktop.
•
•
Clean the ventilation system above or behind the
cooktop frequently,so that grease from the cooking
vapors does not accumulate on the filters, fan,
intake, or hood.
Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified servicer.
To prevent elements from accidentally being
turrned on, lock the cooktop when it is not in use
and before cleaning. (See Locking the Cooktop, Page
8.)
•
•
Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for
the type and amount of food being prepared.
Do not place any hot cookware on the control
panel area,

•
There may be a slight odor during the first several
uses; this is normal and will disappear.
The element“ON” indicator light glows whenever any
element is turned on.The light remains lit until all of
the elements are turned off.
Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used.(See Page 12.)
The“ON” light is located to the left of the Power Pad.
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain
hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements
have been turned off.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show
when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. After
the element is turned off, an “H” will appear in the
element display.The H remains on until the cooking
area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.
•
Read all safety precautions and Care & Use Manual
information prior to operating.
PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG LIFE AND
GOOD APPEARANCE OF THE SURFACE:
If an H is lit inside the element display, use caution
when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the
cooktop is still hot.
•
Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme® will protect the surface and make it easier
to remove food soil and water spots.
RETAINED HEAT
•
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable
if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot
after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained
heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures
for a short time.
•
•
Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it
will melt and damage the glass surface.
Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in
contact with the hot glass surface; these items can
melt or burn and damage the glass surface.
LOCKINGTHE COOKTOP
The Panel Lock is selected to prevent the control pads
from being turned on. Touch PANEL LOCK Pad, light
flashes and beep sounds.Hold for 3 seconds to activate.
A beep will sound and the panel lock light stays lit
indicating that the cooktop is locked.
•
Do not allow pans to boil dry.This can damage
the pan, element and/or the cooktop.
•
•
Never cook food directly on the glass.
To unlock, touch PANEL LOCK Pad and hold for 3
seconds. A beep will sound and the light will go out
indicating the cooktop is unlocked.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other
metal stand on the glass surface.
•
•
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
The cooktop cannot be locked when a surface element
is operating.
Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface;
it may scratch the glass.
It is recommended to lock the cooktop when not in
use and for cleaning.
•
Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.
PAGE 8
CET/CEP Cooktop Care and Use Manual
Cooktop Operating Instructions
The Elements
RADIANT ELEMENTS
KEEPWARM
Each element has a Keep Warm setting. The main
function of theWarming feature is to keep hot,cooked
foods at serving temperatures. KeepWarm is not for
cooking foods.
This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located
under the glass-ceramic surface to provide the heat
for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and off by
design.(See Temperature Limiters,below.)
To use the Keep Warm feature:
There are ten heat settings ranging from 9 (high) to
keep warm (L).
•
•
•
•
Touch desired element display.
Touch PAN SIZE pad, if needed,
Touch Keep Warm Pad
DUAL ELEMENT
“L” will appear in element display.
The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon
elements within the same heating area.Either the small
inner element or both the inner and outer elements
may be selected for use.
The lower power of the element makes it practical to
warm a serving platter before adding the hot food, or
to keep a casserole hot for second helpings.
Keep Warm Guidelines
TRIPLE ELEMENT (Select Models)
•
Use pans/utensils with flat bases. Plates, platters,
and casseroles with a shallow ridge around the
base can be used provided they are made of heat-
safe material.
The triple element consists of three radiant ribbon
elements within the the same heating area. Either the
small inner element,the inner and middle elements or
the inner, middle and outer elements may be selected.
•
•
Keep dish covered to keep foods hot.
Choose pans and utensils that may be safely used
on a hot surface. Example: Use CorningWare®
“safe for rangetop” rather than Pyrex® “not
recommended for cooktop use”.
BRIDGE ELEMENT
(36" and 45" Models Only)
The Bridge element consists of 3 separate elements
that can be operated in 2 different ways:
•
Use a trivet or steamer basket inside a pan when
necessary to raise food off bottom of the pan.Use
a small amount of water to steam tortillas.Do not
use a trivet directly on the cooktop.
• Use of either one or both of the circular elements
independently.
• Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge element
simultaneously with a single control.
TEMPERATURE LIMITERS
Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to
protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high
temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically
by cycling the element off regardless of the cook
setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following
conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle
on and off more than usual:
When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong
heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles,
open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a flat
bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely
as possible.
BRIDGE OPERATION
To use the Bridge elements, touch center area
between the two elements in the control panel area.
Touch cook setting indicator.
•
The base of the pan is not making full contact with
the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven
base).

ZONE SMART™ Pan sensing and Sizing
(CEP models only)
Pan Sensing
Each element has sensors under the glass ceramic panel
which detect if there is a metallic pan (saucepan,skillet,
stockpot, etc.) sitting on the element. The element
will heat up when it is turned on and the sensor detects
the presence of a pan.This feature is either on or off
for all elements and works together with the Pan sizing
feature.
Using a single element
(with ZONE SMART, Pan Sensing Only)
1. Place pan on the center of the element.
2. Touch the center of the control pad that
corresponds to the element desired.The display
flashes 0 and two lights to the left and right of the
display.The ZONE SMART indicator light turns on.
The element will not heat if it is turned on without a
pan present or if the pan is removed from the element
when it is operating. If no pan is present on the element,
a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After 10 minutes,the
cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan is placed on
the element.
3. Touch desired heat setting number. The display
shows the heat setting and the element starts
heating.
4. To turn off surface element, touch the element

Pan Sizing
The element heats up when it has been turned on and
the sensors detect the presence of a pan.
On the double and triple elements, a sensor under
the cooktop can choose the size pan being used and
turn on the appropriate element.This feature is either
on or off for all elements and works together with the
Pan Sensing feature.
Using a dual or triple element
(with ZONE SMART Pan Sensing and Sizing)
1. Place pan on the center of the element.

Using Proper Cookware
COOKWARE
Characteristics
The choice of pans directly affects the cooking speed
and uniformity. For best results select pans with the
following features:
FLAT BASES - When a pan is hot, the base (pan
bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without
wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium to heavy pans are
best.
Custom Accessory Griddle
An anodized aluminum griddle with a flat base and
sized to span the bridge elements is available. The
accessory griddle, Model AEGRIDDLE, is available from
your local Thermador dealer.
To test the flatness of your pans:
Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place
a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom
of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be
flush against each other.
!
CAUTION
Another simple test to determine even heat
distribution across the cookware bottom is to place
1” water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and
observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts
to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even
distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.
L
•
Foods packaged in aluminum foil should not
be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for
cooking; aluminum foil can melt and cause perma-
nent damage.
DIAMETER – The base of the pan should cover or
match the diameter of the element being used. Pans
may overhang the element area by 1" all around.
!
CAUTION
L
•
•
Plastic, paper and cloth can melt or burn
when in contact with a hot surface. Do not let
these items come in contact with the hot glass
ceramic surface.
TIGHT FITTING LID – A lid shortens cooking
time by holding the heat inside the pan.
SPECIALTY PANS
Specialty pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure
cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure
canners must have the same features as described
above. (Use only a flat-bottom wok.)
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can perma-
nently damage the pan, the element and the
cooktop glass.

Cooktop Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Guide
BEFORE USE CARE
DAILY CLEANINGTECHNIQUES
Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For
example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning
Creme® on a daily basis.
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to
remove water spots or food spatters.
1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool
with the following exception.
2. Remove these soils IMMEDIATELY with the
razor blade scraper:
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.
Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup,Tomato Products, Milk
The temperature of the cooking surface during use
reduces the protective qualities of the Cleaning Creme®,
so it must be re-applied regularly to maintain the
appearance of the cooktop.
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
•
Cooktop Cleaning Crème® (packaged with
cooktop) – This removes soil and 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 to prevent spatter and small food particles from
baking on the surface.
How to use a Razor Blade Scraper
Use only a small amount; apply to a clean
paper towel or cloth.Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel. Use on a DAILY
basis.
!
CAUTION:
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the
surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper.The
resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health.
Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage
the surface.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
TYPE OF SOIL
Failure to remove these soils immediately can
permanently damage the surface.
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills.
Melted plastic film or foil. All these items
REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
• Remove pan and turn off the element.
• Wearing an oven mitt, angle the scraper slightly,
using care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push
soil off the heated area.
Remove only these types of spills while the
surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. See
illustration on Page 14.
• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue
Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.
and apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme®.
• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on
top of soil for about 30 minutes.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning
Creme® or use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and
dry.
• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease;
rinse thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning
Creme®.
Greasy spatters
• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases
may leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface
