BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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.
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain
the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
The single radiant elements will have one round outline
pattern shown (See Figs. 3 & 4). The keep warm zone is
designed to keep food warm only.
Quick boil feature (some models)
Your appliance may be equipped with one or two elements
on the ceramic cooktop marked quick boil.
These radiant elements are best used when bringing larger
quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing
larger quantities of food.
The dual radiant element allows the user to set the
smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and
outer portions may be set to heat together (See Figs. 3 &
4). The triple (some models) radiant element works like
the dual with an additional size setting that permits heating
small, medium and large cookware from the same element
position (See Fig. 3)
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.
