Cooktop
Before Using the Cooktop
WARNING
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop
is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is
not being used.
• Turn cookware handles inward so they don't
extend over adjacent surface units. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the cookware.
• Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface
unit you are cooking on. Never leave surface
units unattended at high heat settings. Proper
contact of cookware to burner also will improve
efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spills that may catch on fire.
• Clean cooktop with caution. Do not use sponges
or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use
a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, it can
cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
CAUTION
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board.
• Choose proper burner size. For smaller pots and
pans, use the smaller heating elements. For
larger pots and pans, use the larger heating
elements. Select pans that have flat bottoms
large enough to cover the heating elements.
Using undersized pans exposes a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result
in clothing burning.
• Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed cookware are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use
cookware.
• Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to
prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• Do not turn surface units on before placing
cookware.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop
surface that could fall and damage it.
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such
as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrappings or any other material on the
range when it is in use.
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or
abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch 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.
NOTE
• It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on
and off during cooking, even on higher settings.
This will happen more frequently if cooking on a
lower temperature setting.

NOTE
• It is normal to see a very faint red ring around
the outer edge of a dual or triple element when
using it as a single element at a high heat
setting. This is only a reflection from the bright
glow of the center element and is not a
malfunction.
