TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE

Cleaning

(see pages 32~33 for more information)

Before first use, clean the cooktop.

Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE

Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:

•Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the elements are turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will cool down enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the cooktop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

•In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

•Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

•The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

To Prevent Marks and Scratches

Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.

Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.” (See Cleaning pages 32~33.)

Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.

To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damages

Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning pages 32~33.)

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations.
