USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)

Using the ceramic glass cooktop

(Model RF314PXG)

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences:

• The surface cooking area will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the

element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the area

stay at the temperature setting you chose.

•Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

•Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

•Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.

•Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

•Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

•Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section for more information.

•Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section for care and cleaning suggestions.

Hot surface indicator light

The hot surface indicator light on the cooktop will glow when a surface cooking area becomes too hot to touch. The indicator light will continue to glow as long as the surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after it is turned off.
