POSSIBLE CAUSE

● 

You must use pans which are absolutely flat. If light can be seen between the

pan bottom and a straight edge, the surface units 

 not transfer heat properly.

● 

Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the surface unit selected,

● 

The glass cooktop surfaces may seem hotter than you are used to.

This is normal.  Make 

 flat-bottomed pans are used.

● 

Improper cookware being used. Pan bottoms should be flat, fairly heavy weight

and the same diameter as the surface unit selected.

 Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house, caused by a

blown cooktop-circuit fuse, a tripped cooktop-circuit breaker, the main fuse or
the main circuit breaker, depending on the nature of the power supply. If a
circuit breaker is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the cooktop
fuse (a cartridge-type) should be changed, BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE
FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If after performing one of these

procedures, the fuse blows or circuit breaker trips again, call for service.

NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should ask their building
management to perform this check before calling for service.

● 

Cooktop surface unit controls are not properly set, or the wrong control knob

is set for the surface unit you are using.

 Incorrect cleaning methods have been used, cookware 

 rough bottoms

have been used, or coarse particles (salt or sand) were between the cookware
and the surface of the cooktop. Use recommended cleaning procedures, be sure
cookware bottoms and cookware are clean before use, and use cookware 
smooth bottoms. Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible
in time as a result of cleaning.

 Do not slide aluminum cookware across the surface. Use recommended

cleaning procedure to remove marks.

● 

Incorrect cleaning materials have been used, encrusted 

 or grease

spatters remain on the surface. Use a razor scraper and recommended
cleaning procedure.

● 

Use a razor scraper and recommended cleaning procedure.

● 

Marks from aluminum and copper pans as well as mineral deposits from water

or food can be removed with Cook Top Cleaning 

● 

See the 

 Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning section.

● 

Incorrect cookware used. Use only flat cookware to minimize cycling.

● 

When the knob is at the OFF position, it must be pushed in before it can be

turned. When the knob is at any other position, it can be turned without being
pushed in.
