About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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.

neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of

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.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
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.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator
light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn
on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will
remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera-
ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface
elements are turned off.

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 food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult
cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause
potential fire hazard.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt,
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.

IMPORTANT
CAUTION
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.

The element on and hot surface indicator lights will glow
when the element is turned on and will continue to glow
after the control knob is turned to the OFF position. It will
glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has
turned off.
