• Glass ceramic cooktop -

Make sure the surface and

the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the

cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it.

• Radiant surface units -

The radiant surface heating units

are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on

the cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit underneath.

When the cooktop is on, the cooktop-on indicator, next to the

surface cooking control knob, comes on even if the cooktop

unit doesn’t look red. The areas around the units may become

hot enough to cause burns.

• Hot surface indicator -

An indicator light, on the

cooktop, comes on when the surface unit is turned on and

the cooktop temperature increases. The indicator will remain

on until the surface has cooled below 150˚F even after the

unit is turned off.

• Temperature limiter -

The radiant surface units have a

temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off,

even at the HI setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop

from damage. Cycling at the HI setting can occur when

improper cookware is used.

Note:

• Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot units may

ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase

pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.

• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop as they can

cause damage if they drop on to the cooktop.

• Never cook directly on the cooktop. Always use

cookware.

abOut COOkinG utensils

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking

utensils as below.

• Bottom of pan -

Pans should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness

by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms

are not recommended.

• Size of pan -

Pan size should match the amount of food

and the size of the surface unit. Do not use canners or frypans

that exceed the width of the radiant surface units.

• Material of pan -

Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils

were not made to be used on the cooktop.

• Position of pan

- Always place the pan in the center of

the surface unit you are using.

• Wok Cooking

- Only a flat-bottomed wok is recommended.

Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.

Note:

• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because

it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to

be removed promptly.

• Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan

and the countertop.

• Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.
