About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has inductors and radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
NOTE
Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.
About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.
Cooktop ON & Element ON indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of surface indicator lights (see Feature at a Glance section for locations) that will glow on the control panel; the Cooktop ON indicator light and the Element ON indicator lights.
The Cooktop ON indicator light is located on the control panel between the warmer zone touch pads and the upper left radiant element control knob and will glow when any surface element is turned ON.
The Element ON indicator lights are located between the control knobs, on each side of the control panel. It will glow when its associated surface element is turned ON. On the induction (right side) controls, the Element ON indicator light will turn green if the Power Sharing feature is activated (see the Setting Induction Surface Controls section for more informations).
Locations of the surface radiant & induction elements
Your cooktop is equipped with radiant and induction surface elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
•Two 7 inch radiant elements are located at the left front and rear positions.
•One
•One 6 inch induction element located at the right rear position.
•One 10 inch induction element located at the right front position.
