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).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. The	Fig. 1
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	Fig. 2
	complete the cooking process.	Fig. 2
	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 13 for more details about using proper cookware on the cooktop.
