NOTES:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used.
This is normal.
• When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceramic
surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.
• The glass-ceramic surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal
and will disappear when the surface cools.
• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned
off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch.
• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

OOKING REAS
The cooking areas on your range are
identified by permanent patterns on the
glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element
size.
Pans should not extend more than
to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 5.)
• Do not use glass pans. They may
scratch the surface.

high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean

cutting board. Never cook food directly
on the surface.

tween the surface and pan. These
items can mark or etch the top.

to clean the cooktop surface. A film will
remain which may cause stains on the
cooking surface after the area is
heated.
• Do not use a small pan on a large
element. Not only does this waste
energy, but it can also result in
spillovers burning onto the cooking
area which requires extra cleaning
• Do not use non-flat specialty items that
are oversized or uneven such as round
bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or
oversized canners and griddles.
• Do not slide heavy metal pans across
the surface since these may scratch.

NOTES:
• Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the element off a few minutes
before food is completely cooked
and use the retained heat to
complete the cooking.
Because of the heat retention
characteristics, the elements will
not respond to changes in settings
as quickly as coil elements. In the
event of a potential boilover,
remove the pan from the
cooking area.
