Using the ceramic glass cooktop
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is almost the same as cooking on coil surface units. There are, however, a few differences:
l The surface unit will glow red when it is turned on. You will see the element cycling on (glowing red) and off - even on HI setting
l Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and provide the most even heating. See pages 18 and 19 for care and cleaning suggestions.
. Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.
l With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nicks and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass cooktop.
l Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and dry before using on cooklop.
l Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans with tall sides.
l Do not cook food directly on cooktop.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry. on a hot surface unit.
The utensil can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.
