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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can 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 instructions with the cooktop).

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 Fig 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.

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 offthe element several minutes before cooking is complete.

This wilt 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 6 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 (See Figure 2); a smaller 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front position; a Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12); and two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear positions. Located between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element.

The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the same knob that controls the left front radiant element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using BRIDGE radiant element.
