Using the radiant surface units. (glass cooktops only)

SURFACE

COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating units 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.

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

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit 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.

Indicator Lights

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

Indicator light will:

■come on when the unit is hot to the touch.

■stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■glow until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.

A surface units ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

NOTE: The surface units ON indicator light may glow between the surface control settings of LO and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.

Temperature Limiter (glass cooktops only)

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

■The pan boils dry.

■The pan bottom is not flat.

■The pan is off center.

■There is no pan on the unit.
