•Use only oven-safe cookware.

Smoothtop Surface

Smoothtop Surface Notes

•Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

•In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

•Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

•The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations on page 6 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet included with your range.
