About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 under- neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed 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 off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Element ON & hot surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard- the Element On indicator light and the hot surface indicator lights.

The element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel between the two radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON.

Figure 3: Element ON indicator light locations

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.

Be sure to 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.
