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. Make sure the diameter of

the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and 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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the Hi setting

 

 

is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the

 

 

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to

 

 

page 12 for correct cookware instructions).

Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn to a pale green when the element is first turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
