COOKTOP USE

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It may cycle on and off 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. On cooktops with white ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

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

■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.

■For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

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

■Do not allow objects that could melt, such as 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 ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

■Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

■Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

■Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

■Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

■Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
