About surface cooking

CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop,
even when it is not being used.
• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and
damage it.
CAUTION
DURING COOKING
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use.
• Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
• Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and
be very difficult to remove.

CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass
surface before it has cooled down sufficiently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore
later.
• If cabinet storage is located directly above the cooking surface, make sure
that the items in it are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area
subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile
liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant
element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle
on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even
at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at
the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
CAUTION
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven's
Self-cleaning function is on.
