The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located 
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic 
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element under-
neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of 
the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed 
cookware should be used.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface 
elements in use and their settings are all factors that will 
affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond 
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements 
may become hot enough to cause burns.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the 
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain 
the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The 
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform 
and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes 
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to 
complete the cooking process.

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of 
radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the 
backguard- the Element On indicator light and the hot 
surface indicator lights.

The element ON indicator lights are located on the control 
panel between the two radiant element control knob and will 
glow when a surface element is turned ON.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to 
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to 
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the 
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too 
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is 
not flat.

Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass 
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section 
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and 
Care Guide.
