Radiant Surface Units

The control for the radiant surface unit can be set anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings. With the infinite switch the coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

To bring liquids to a boil faster, use a lid to cover the pan.

The control knob must be pushed down and turned from the OFF position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off, they may be turned without pushing down.

Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking. You will feel a click at the OFF position.

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 from the oven or surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over- cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■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.

Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
