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 underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the

element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. 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.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

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 will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on your range-- the ELEMENT ON indicator light and the Not Surface indicator lights (See illustration at left).

The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

The Hot Surface indicator lights located above each surface radiant control knob will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.
