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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat- bottom cookware should be used. 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

wiii spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elementsFigure 1 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 residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

-2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions;

-2 dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right and left front positions;

-a Warm & Ready zone radiant element located at the center rear position;

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the Hi setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for using correct cookware instructionswith the cooktop).

Surface Cooking Settings

Use the table to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Figure 2

NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements,

the glass surface will turn green when the element is first turned off.

This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original

white color after it has completely cooled down.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.
