Cooktop Problem Possible Causes and Suggested Solutions
Element cycles more than
usual • Pan base is warped and not making full contact with heating surface.
• Base diameter of pan is too small for the size of the element.
• Pan ingredients have boiled dry.
• Material of pan is a poor heat conductor; heat transfers too slowly
A slight odor is noticeable
when an element is turned on • This is normal with new cooktops and will disappear after several uses
Cooktop controls will not turn
on • Range is not receiving power. Check the power source to see if a fuse has blown or
if the circuit breaker tripped. Check cord to see if it is inserted completely into outlet.
• Cooktop panel is locked. Press and hold PANEL LOCK until indicator light turns off.
Scraper is not working prop-
erly. • The scraper blade is dull. The scraper is packaged with single-edge, stainless steel
blades. Replace with a standard single-edge blade.
Cooking results are not what
was expected. • The cooktop is not level. Adjust leveling legs on bottom of range.
• Cooking pan is not the appropriate size or type. See “Cookware Selection Guide”.
Element cycles on the highest
setting • This is normal. The temperature limiter operates automatically to protect the glass
ceramic surface from extreme high temperature damage.
