Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety

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 control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

About the radiant surface units

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■Come on when the surface unit is turned on.

■Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 150°F.

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

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

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass 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.

■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

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Temperature Limiter

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.
