Radiant surface units

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: This cooktop has Rapid Response surface units. The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool down to the desired power level setting in the quickest time possible. While the surface units are on, you may not see them glow red during certain heat up or cool down conditions.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

The ON/OFF indicator lights will come on next to the Warmer and Dual surface units when activated. Lights also activate for the

(Pan Detect) and (Control Lock) features when they are turned on. The indicator lights will go off when the surface unit or feature is turned off.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

•Come on when the surface unit is turned on.

•Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

•Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 150°F.

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.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool. Never place cookware on the control area.

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.

SURFACE

COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass.

Always use cookware

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the

surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

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

•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.
