The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Never cook directly on the glass.

Always use cookware.

About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating

units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new

cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by

the heating of new parts and insulating materials

and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light colored glass

cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to

change color when hot or cooling down. This is

temporary and will disappear as the glass cools

to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to

maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the

glass surface even when the cooktop

is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned

off, the glass cooktop retains enough

heat to continue cooking. To avoid

overcooking, remove pans from the

surface units when the food is cooked.

Avoid placing anything on the surface

unit until it has cooled completely.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop

because it can scratch the glass—the glass

is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full strength white

vinegar.

■Use of window cleaner may leave an

iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning

cream will remove this discoloration.

■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause

damage.

■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
