Knobs & Indicator Lights
The cooking area controls are known as “infinite” controls. This type of control
has an infinite selection of heat settings. The control settings begin at low and
increase heat output by cycling the heating elements between “off” and full power
as you turn the knob clockwise. The heating elements will stay at full power for
longer periods and at zero power for shorter periods as you turn the knob
clockwise, thus controlling the heat output.
There are a series of lights that provide indications of burner operation and hot
surfaces. These lights are located adjacent to the control knobs. When the
control is in the “on” position, a red light is lit indicating which burner is on.
For your safety, we have incorporated a “HOT” indicator light. When lit, this light
indicates that some part of the glass ceramic cook top is too warm to touch or
place articles upon. Do not place articles other than cookware on the cooking
surface while this light is glowing.
Cleaning
To help ensure that your cook top stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Clean the cook top before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with
our recommended cook top cleaner (
Cerama Brite Ceramic Cook Top
Cleaner
) will provide a coating on the cook top prior to its first use. A sample
is included with your cook top.
Always remove food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from cookware.
A razor blade scraper or the equivalent works well to remove spillovers.
Clean the cook top with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and a
recommended cleaner. After cleaning, always wipe the cook top with a clean,
damp cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue. Wipe the cook top dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cook top. A film may be left
by the detergent and may cause discoloration of the cook top surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon
or metal cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cook top.
Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid
or chemical oven cleaners. They can etch or discolor the surface.
Do not let anything that melts
–
plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, etc., come into
contact with the cook top surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto
the surface,
immediately
move it to a cool area of the cook top with a razor
blade scraper and then remove it from the cook top as soon as possible.
