HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new range has a radiant glass cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use the radiant cooktop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between radiant cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
