BEFORE USE

CERAMIC GLASS SURFACE
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. However some parts of the surface cooking area
may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle on and off to maintain
the selected heat level and to keep to keep the cooktop from reaching extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas
are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even
heating. On cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more
cleaning and attention. Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. (For more information, refer to
"Care and Maintenance" section on page 19.)
• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could
crack the cooktop.
• DO NOT leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and
the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
• Clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while
wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are
allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
• DO NOT slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
• DO NOT cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum
marks that cannot be removed completely.
• DO NOT allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire
cooktop.
• DO NOT use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• DO NOT cook foods directly on the cooktop.
• Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded,
warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you
rotate the ruler, no space or light SHOULD be visible between it and the cookware.
• Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave
deposits when heated.
• Use cookware about the same size as
the surface cooking area. Cookware
SHOULD NOT extend more than 1/2"
(1.3 cm) outside the area.
