COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. 
Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide 
when setting heat levels.
Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It 
may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level. 
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to 
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As 
the glass cools, it will return to its original color. 
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep 
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On 
cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may 
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care. 
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For 
more information, see “General Cleaning” section.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a 
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the 
cooktop.
To avoid damage to 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 
using a scraper 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.
To avoid scratches, 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.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that 
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part 
of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a 
cutting board.
