Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle
the units off for a time if:
■
The pan boils dry.
■
The pan bottom is not flat.
■
The pan is off center.
■
There is no pan on the unit.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
About the radiant surface units…
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
over-cooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratch-proof.
■
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
■
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will
remove this discoloration.
■
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
