Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.

TYPES OF HEATING UNITS USED

Depending on model, two types of heating units may be found under the ceramic glass cooktop:

–regular (single coil) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes, plus expandable type (double coils) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes.

–halogen elements of various diameters or shapes.

REGULAR RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.

Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at OFF position, then turned to the desired heat settings.

A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

EXPANDABLE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit. Its principal advantage is to allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit, therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility.

Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. For larger utensils use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.

The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON.

HALOGEN HEATING UNITS (some models)

The halogen element is similar to the radiant element with the addition of a halogen lamp to the heating coil. The lamp immediately heats up and glows bright red when the element is turned on. Cook time is improved.

10-Step

Halogen Control

Knob

10-Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set in 10 different heating positions. Each position causes the element to operate continuously at a fixed power output ”MIN“ is the lowest setting, ”MAX“ is the highest.

Infinite Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set anywhere between positions ”MIN“ and ”MAX“.
