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 (See Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. The type and size and condition of the 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. Note: The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

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 any remaining 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 smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 17 for more details about using proper cookware on the cooktop.

NOTE: 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 manual.

To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature

The About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface

elements from being accidentally turned ON (including Warmer Zone). This feature will only lock the cooktop.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:

1.BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2.Press and hold About the Radiant Surface Elements until a 2nd beep sounds. If a triple beep sounds instead, check

all surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn ON and the cooktop controls and functions are locked out until the cooktop is unlocked (See Fig. 5).

To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:

1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.

2. Press and hold To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature until a 2nd beep sounds (after 3 seconds). If a triple beep sounds

instead, check all surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop Locked indicator light will turn OFF and the cooktop may be used

normally (See Fig. 6).

Note: Starting a Self-Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a power failure occurs after the Cooktop Lockout has been activated, you must turn OFF the Cooktop Lockout feature before being able to use the cooktop features again.
