Radiant
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
Glass
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
Cooktop
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.
NOTE: This cooktop has Rapid Response
surface units. The cooktop will automatically
heat up or cool down to the desired power
level setting in the quickest time possible.
While the surface units are on, you may not
see them glow red during certain heat up or
cool down conditions.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4
units turned on, surface temperatures are high.
Always use caution when touching the cooktop.
Be sure the canner is centered over the
Home
surface unit.
Canning
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Tips
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.

Using Your Cooktop
Radiant Cooktop
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass—the glass is
scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable
sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use
of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may
extend the time required to bring the water to
a boil.
