clockwise. The heating elements will stay at full power for longer periods and at
zero power for shorter periods as you turn the knob counter-clockwise, thus
increasing the heat output.
There is a light associated with each of the control knobs that provides an
indication of burner operation and a hot surface. When a control is in the ON
position, the red light is lit indicating which burner is on and is therefore too hot to
touch.
Do not place articles other than cookware on the cooking surface while
this light is glowing.
Cleaning
To help ensure that your cooktop stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Clean the cooktop before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with
a recommended cooktop cleaner will provide a coating on the cooktop prior to
its first use.
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 cooktop with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and a
recommended cleaner. After cleaning, always wipe the cooktop with a clean,
damp cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue. Wipe the cooktop dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cooktop. A film may be left
by the detergent and may cause discoloration of the cooktop surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon
or metal cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cooktop.
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 cooktop surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto
the surface,
immediately
move it to a cool area of the cooktop with a razor
blade scraper and then remove it from the cooktop as soon as possible.
