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.
Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only fl at-bottom 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
a ff ect 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 o ff . The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the o ff cycle.
For e ffi cient cooking, turn o ff the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned o ff . The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled su ffi ciently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fi re if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Important notes:
•
Never place or saddle a cooking utensil over two di ff erent
surface cooking elements at the same time unless the
utensil is designed for that purpose. This can cause uneven
heating results. This can also cause the ceramic cooktop to
fracture (for ceramic cooktop models only).
•
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and o ff , even at the HI
setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
smooth top. 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 fl at.
•
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care &
Cleaning and Before You Call sections in this Use & Care
Guide.
Note : (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity
of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface
will turn green when the element is fi rst turned o ff . This
phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with
di ff erent wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and
in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
- two 6 inch radiant elements located at the right rear and
left position;
- a 6/ 9/ 12 inch triple element located at the right front
position;
- a 9 inch turbo boil fl ex radiant element located at the left
front position.
- a Warm & Ready Zone located at the center rear
position;
