HALOGEN/RADIANT Surface Units

General Information About Halogen/Radiant Surface Units

The halogen/radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass ceramic surface. The surface units are shown by outlines on the glass.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

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.

When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling.

Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the glass.

Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning cream and a razor scraper.

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

Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can cause scratches on the glass.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass ceramic cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

The HOT SURFACE lights will stay lit until the cooktop is safe to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay lit for 30 minutes.

HOT SURFACE

CAUTION: When the surface controls are turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light will remain lit until the cooktop surface has cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic surface will retain heat after the indicator light goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface has had time to cool.

Cooktop Comparison

Halogen/Radiant

Differences Between Halogen and Radiant Units

Although the radiant and halogen surface units cook very much alike, there are some differences:

	6″		6″
	6″		radiant
radiant			radiant
radiant
		7″	6″/9″
1	2″	radiant	6″/9″
7	⁄		dual
halogen			radiant

•Halogen units are much brighter than the radiant units. Radiant units have a dull red glow.

•Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow as brightly as the outer halogen coils.

•Radiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow than halogen units.

•The halogen knob clicks in every position. The radiant clicks at OFF and HI.

•The halogen unit is invisible until it reaches the mid-range settings. The radiant unit is visible at all “on” settings.
