Glass-Ceramic Surface (select models)

NOTES:

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

❚On Canadian models, the surface will not operate during a self-clean cycle.

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

❚When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.

❚Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see below), the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

Because of the heat retention characteristics, the elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

❚NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

➢Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See

Cleaning, page 13.)

➢ Do not use glass pans. They may scratch

the surface.

➢ Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with

high sugar content to melt onto the hot

cooktop. Should this happen, clean im-

mediately. (See Cleaning, page 13.)

➢ Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage

the surface and pan.

➢ Never use cooktop as a work surface or

cutting board. Never cook food directly on

the surface.

CAUTION:

Do not use the cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on to it. Call an authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identi- fied by permanent patterns on the glass- ceramic surface. For 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.

For more information on cookware, refer to

“Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

WARMING CENTER (SELECT MODELS)

HOT SURFACE

LIGHT ON COOKTOP

HOT SURFACE LIGHT

The hot surface indicator light is located at the front center of the cooktop. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.

WARMING CENTER

(select models)

Use the Warming Center to keep cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.

Push the switch on the control panel to turn the Warming Center on and off.

NOTES:

WARMING CENTER

➢All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food qual- ity.

➢When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

➢Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.

➢Use only cookware and dishes rec- ommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.

➢Always use oven mitts when remov- ing food from the Warming Center as cookware and plates will be hot.

➢It is not recommended to warm food for longer than one hour, as food quality may deteriorate.

➢It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Center.

➢ Never use foil-type disposable containers

or place a trivet or wok ring between the

surface and pan. These items can mark

or etch the top.

➢ Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot

surface. The pans may leave marks which

need to be removed promptly. (See Clean-

ing, page 13.)

➢ Make sure the surface and the pan bot-

tom are clean before turning on to prevent

scratches.

➢ To prevent scratching or damage 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.

➢ Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to

clean the cooktop surface. A film will re-

main which may cause stains on the cook-

ing surface after the area is heated.

➢ To retain the appearance of the glass-

ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.
