For models with a glass cooktop.
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.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are
on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use caution
when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when the
surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate
HOT SURFACE
indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 150°F.
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
■
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
■
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 150°F.
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.
NOTE:
On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones
to change color when hot or cooling down.
This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop when
the surface is cool.
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.
■
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.
Always place the pan in the center
of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the control
or cooktop surface because it can scratch
the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratchproof.
