About the radiant surface units…

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a

smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the
first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain

your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or

surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass

cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking.

To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface

units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing

anything on the surface unit until it has cooled

completely.

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning
cream or full strength white vinegar.

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the
cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the
cooktop, they can cause damage.

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
