SURFACE UNITS (Cont .)
Radiant Glass Cooktop
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.
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.
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
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 film.
• 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.
Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass
Cooktops
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 surface 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.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the
center of the surface unit you are
cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.
