About the radiant surface units…
(glass cooktops only)
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE:
A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on
the glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
■
Before you use the cooktop for the first time,
clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect
the top and makes clean-up easier.
■
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
■
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If
they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Do not slide
cookware across
the cooktop
because it can
scratch the glass—
the glass is scratch
resistant, not
scratch proof.

OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
Temperature Limiter
(glass cooktops only)
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■
The pan boils dry.
■
The pan bottom is not flat.
■
The pan is off center.
■
There is no pan on the unit.
Dual Surface Unit Switch
(glass cooktops only)
The left rear surface unit has two cooking sizes to
select from so you can match the size of the unit
to the size of the cookware you are using.
To use the large (9-inch) surface unit,
push in the top portion of the
COIL SIZE
switch next to the control knob. Push in
and turn the control knob to the desired
setting.
To use the small (6-inch) surface unit,
push in the bottom portion of the
COIL
SIZE
switch. Push in and turn the control
knob to the desired setting.
