~our new cooktop has a radiant glass ceramic cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use the radiant cooktop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and “cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between radiant cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop	Description		How it Works
Radiant	Electric coils		Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic)	under a glass-		the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to

o			you want cooking to stop.
Induction	High frequency		Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
	induction coils		produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
	under a glass		and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
	surface.		off, the giass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil	Flattened metal		Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
,(>	tubing	containing	cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
	electric	resistance	warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change

Gas Burners	Regular or sealed		Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

SURFACE CONTROLS

At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight niche so control “clicks” at those positions; the word HI marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is the word LO. In a quiet kitchen you may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to lower settings.

How totheS t Controls

●

I j

+

1.Push the control knob in.

2.Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired heat setting.

The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing it in.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

The surface unit “on” indicator light will glow when ANY surface unit is on.
