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,

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

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 iscomplete. 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 and Before You Call checklist

instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section section of this manual.
