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 wil spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface ElementsFigure 1

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 energy 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:

- a 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position; - a 9 / 12 inch dual radiant element located at the right front

position;

- a 7 inch radiant element located at the center rear position; - Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front

and rear positions. Located between the left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element.

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 to maintain consistent heat

 

even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to

 

the ceramic cooktop. Cycling is normal and will occur

 

even more often if the cookware is too small for the

 

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer

 

to page 7 for instructions on using correct cookware with the

 

cooktop).

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. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
