The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.

Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

Lift pots and pans on and off the cooktop. Sliding pots, pans and skillets that have aluminum or copper bases could leave permanent scratches and marks on the cooktop.

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the area.
