TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS

COOKTOP SURFACE

Cleaning

(see pages 29~30 for more information)
Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the

spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough

cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, remove spill with a

proper metal scraper.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers

not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks and Scratches

Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.”

(See Cleaning pages 29~30.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean and dry

before turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top,

do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the

cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before

using.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these

may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the

cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains

on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a

permanent stain.

To Prevent Other Damages

Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content

to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean

immediately. (See Cleaning pages 29~30.)
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and

pan.
Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the surface.

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

circles on the glass cooktop 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

glass cooktop 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.

GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE

Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:
‡

Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

‡

Glass 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 cooktop

elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as

coil elements.
