About the radiant surface elements…

SURFACE

COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always center the pan on the surface element you are using.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

The radiant cooktop features heating elements beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface elements that are on. With 3 or 4 elements turned on, cooktop temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching it.

The indicator lights will come on next to the Dual and Tri-Ring burners when activated. Lights also activate for the Control Lock feature when it is turned on. The indicator lights will go off when the surface element or feature is turned off.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F.(66°C).

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■Come on when the surface element is turned on.

■Stay on even after the element is turned off.

■Glow brightly until the element has cooled below 150°F. (66°C).

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.

It is safe to place hot cookware (from the oven or surface) on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool. Never place cookware on the control area.

Even after the surface elements are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface elements when the food is cooked. Avoid placing utensils that could become hot or plastics that could melt on the surface element until it has cooled completely.

■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.

Radiant Surface Elements

The controls for the radiant surface elements allow for 11 different heat settings: Low, 1–9 and High. The heating element may not visibly glow at low heat settings.

The surface heating element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

Each radiant surface element has a temperature limiter which protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
