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 (See Figs. 1 & 2).

Heat is transferred up through

the

surface of the cooktop

to

the cookware. The

Fig. 1

type and size and condition of

the

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. Note: 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 )rovide 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 any remaining heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a tmiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to _'_

prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too F'_ small for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 13 for more details about using proper

cookware on the cooktop.

Locations of the Radiant

Surface Elements and

Controls
