REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.

Ceramic Glass

(on some models)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white and biscuit ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

■Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

■For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

■Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

■Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.
