When a cooking zone is activated, coils beneath the zone radiate heat through the glass to the utensil° The red glow of the coils will be visible through the glass. It will take the cooking zone on the surface a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.
See the Ciean_ng Tips for important informa-
tion about maintaining your cooktop.
The surface will retain heat after controls have been turned off. The HOT SURFACE Indicator light glows until the cooktop has cooled to a safe temperature. This may
take up to an hour after use. The temperature of the metal frame around the glass will also rise during cooktop use. Use caution when working around your cooktop, especially If more than one cooking zone is on or if using the cooktop for an extended period of
time. Be careful not to get burned when the unit has not had time to cool after use.
Do not slide cookware on the surface as it may scratch the glass.
Never cook food directly on the glass. You must use
proper cookware. Do not use surface as a cutting board.
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation, you should use pans that:
A. Have flat bottoms and straight sides.
B. Have light handles that do not tilt pans. C. Are about the same size as the element.
Note: A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is used for the first time. it is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.
