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 underneath. Make sure the diameter of the 

pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the 

cooktop.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop 

to the cookware. Only fl at-bottom 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

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 effi cient cooking, turn OFF the element several 

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow 

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface radiant 

elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to 

heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the 

element wattage increases.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or 

work surface.
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.
Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface 

(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as 

diffi cult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and 

cause a potential fi re hazard.
Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the 

ceramic glass cooktop.

Í

Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the 

surface elements, the glass surface will turn green 

when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon 

is normal and the glass will come back to its original 

white color after it has completely cooled down. (White 

glass cooktops only).

Í

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 fl at.
