USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)

Using the ceramic glass cooktop

(Ceramic glass cooktop model)

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences:

The surface cooking area will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the

area stay at the temperature setting you chose.

Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. The con- tainer could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.

Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See the “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” section for more information.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” section for care and cleaning suggestions.

Using cookware on

ceramic glass cooktops

Check for rough spots on the bottom of your metal or glass cookware which could scratch the ceramic glass surface.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking area. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to itself or the surface cooking area.

Hot surface indicator light

(Ceramic glass cooktop model)

The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the cooktop will glow when a surface cooking area becomes too hot to touch. The Indicator Light will continue to glow as long as the surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after it is turned off.
