Glass-Ceramic Surface

(select models)

ACAUTION: Do not use the cooktop if the glass is cracked or broken, or if metal melts on to it. Call an

authorized servicer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

On Canadian models, the right front element may not operate during a self-clean cycle. This is normal.

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

When a control is turned on, a red glow from the element 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 page 9), the surface will be cool enough to touch.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified 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 I-inch beyond the cooking area. (For more information on cookware, refer to "Cooking Made Simple" booklet.)

Tips to Protect the Surface

Before first use. clean the cooktop as directed in the cleaning chart on page 18.

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

Do not allow plastic, aluminum foil, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. If these accidentally melt onto the cooktop, clean immediately. (See cleaning chart, page 18.)

°Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Never cook food directly on the surface.

Never let a pan boil dry as this will permanently damage the surface and pan.

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 cleaning chart, page 18.)

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