General Information About Radiant Surface Units

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by
outlines on the glass.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top
and makes clean-up easier.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop
is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of
new parts and insulating materials and will disappear
in a short time.

When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to
maintain your selected control setting. With poor
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling.

Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An
overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the glass.

Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as
small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning
cream and a razor scraper.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges
that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can
cause scratches on the glass.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.

The Hot Surface Lights will stay lit until the cooktop
is safe to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay
lit for 30 minutes.

A “HOT SURFACE” light will glow brightly when
any radiant element is turned on, and will remain lit
after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool
enough to touch. Each element has its own “HOT
SURFACE” indicator light.

• It comes on instantly when the unit is turned on.

• It stays on even after the unit is turned off.

• It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.

A “HOT SURFACE” light will glow brightly when any
element is turned on.
