Using the radiant surface units.
(on some models)
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 overcooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing any-
thing on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass - the
glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
About the radiant surface units...
Every radiant surface unit has a tempera-
ture limiter. The temperature limiter pro-
tects the glass cooktop from getting too
hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
Always place the pan in the
center of the surface unit you
are cooking on.
Never cook directly on the
glass. Always use cookware.
• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.
Temperature Limiter
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are re-
movable using the cleaning cream or
full-strength white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iri-
descent film on the cooktop. The clean-
ing cream will remove this discoloration.
• Do not 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.
