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 will spread to areas beyond the surface elements.

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

Figure 1

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:

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

- two 9/12 inch Double elements located at the right and left front positions;

- a Warmer Zone 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

.....

!

.o

too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is

 

 

 

not flat (Refer to page 14 for using correct cookware

 

 

 

instructions 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.
