Element cycles on the highest setting

Element cycles more than usual

A slight odor is noticeable when an element is

turned on

Cooktop controls will not turn on

Replacement razor blades for the scraper

Cooking results are not what was expected

•

This is normal. The temperature limiter operates

automatically to protect the glass ceramic surface

from extreme high temperature damage.

•

Pan base is warped and not making full contact with

the heating surface.

•

Base diameter of pan is too small for the size of the

element.

•

Pan ingredients have boiled dry.

•

Material of pan is a poor heat conductor; heat transfers

too slowly

•

This is normal with new cooktops and will disappear

after several uses.

•

Check the power source to see if a fuse has blown or

if the circuit breaker tripped.

•

Check power supply.

•

The scraper is packaged with single-edge, stainless

steel blades. Use a standard single-edge blade for

replacement.

•

The cooktop is not level.

•

Cooking pan does not fit the surface being used.

•

Cookware is not the type or size recommended.
