How to Set

Push the knob down and turn in either direction to the setting you want. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be rotated without pushing it down.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

The controls for the radiant surface elements can be set anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings. With the infinite switch the element cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when any surface element is on.

A HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150°F.

NOTE:

■It comes on when the element is hot to the touch.

■It stays on even after the element is turned off.

■It glows brightly until the element is cooled to approximately 150°F.

■Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

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 cooktop because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

The radiant cooktop features heating elements 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.

NOTE: On models with light colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as glass cools to room temperature.

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

It is safe to place hot cookware (from the oven or surface) on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

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.
