Fig. 2

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Good Cookware

Poor Cookware

Curved and warped pan.

Flat bottom and straight sides.

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.

Element ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard — the Element On indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights.

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Element ON Indicator Lights

Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

Made of a material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

Always match pot diameter to element size.

Pan larger than cooking area marked on cooktop by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Pan is smaller or larger than heating area marked on cooktop.

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 smoothtop. Cycling

at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if

the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if

the cookware bottom is not flat.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the Cleaning and

About the ceramic glass cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has 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 flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
