SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING
COOKING AREAS
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the smoothtop surface. For the most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1 /
2
to 1-inch
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations.
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of
time after the elements are turned off. Turn the
elements off a few minutes before food is completely
cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking.
When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will
cool down enough to touch. Because of the way they retain
heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes
in settings as quickly as coil elements.
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
