Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1). For more information about the
ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in
the
General Care & Cleaning
section.
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath.
Be sure
to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become
hot enough to cause burns.
Element ON and Hot Surface Indicator
Lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the
backguard — the
Element On
indicator light and the
Hot
Surface
indicator lights.
The
Element ON indicator lights
are located on the
control panel above each radiant element control knob and
will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick
glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check
to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The
Hot
Surface
indicator light located on the control panel will
glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will
remain on
until the glass cooktop has cooled to a
MODERATE
level.
Note:
•
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps
to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if
the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if
the cookware bottom is not flat.

Be sure
to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the
Cleaning and
Maintenance
section of this Use & Care Manual.
