COOKTOP USE

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
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 sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface
indicator light goes off. If spills and soils are not wiped up
while warm, surface pitting can occur.
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. It 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.
