• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning it
on, and turn the element off before removing the pan.
® Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface witl also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface unit.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The
Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective
Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only
use aluminum as recommended for baking if used as a

PROPER

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
underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only
fiat-bottom cookware should be used.

COOKWARE

The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed
for best cooking results. Be sure
to follow the recommendations for
using proper cookware as illustrated
in Figures 1 & 2.

Figure 1
Cookware should have fiat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure
2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 1).
*CORRECT

INCORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
o Tight fitting lids.
o Weight of handle does not
tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
e Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size of
the surface element.
e Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
e Always match pot diameter
to element surface
diameter.

o Curved and warped pan
bottoms.

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.

• Pan overhangs element by
more than one-half inch.

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

® Pan is smaller than
element.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

Figure 2

Cookware

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.

material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum- Excellent heat conductor. Some types
of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave
metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove
these marks immediately.
Copper- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. Nay
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
Stainless steel- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast iron- A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain=enamel on metal- Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating
must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

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 fiat.
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
Usean d € are Guide:....................................................................................

Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the
surface elements, the glass surface will turn light 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).

SINGLE

RADIANT

ELEMENT

The cooktop provides
single radiant element
located as illustrated. Use
the following instructions
when operating these
elements.

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type
of food being cooked will influence the surface element
power level setting needed for best cooking results.
The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1 are
based on cooking with medium sized aluminum pans with
lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments for
best surface cooking results.

Important notes:
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
