2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is
recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the
glass top before its initial use.

heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the front elements.
4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear elements and turn them on HI

NOTE:
•
This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected
during the manufacturing process, and enables the electronic control
circuits to operate properly.
•
There may be a slight odor during the first several uses: this is normal
and will dissipate.
•
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes
after the elements have been turned off.

COOKWARE

The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity).
For best results, select pans with the following features.
•
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact, but
not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
•
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or cooktop.
•
Never cook food directly on the glass.
•
Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass.
•
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not recommended. Cast iron
retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.
•
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass
ceramic surface for cooking; aluminum foil will melt and cause permanent
damage to the glass surface.
FLAT BOTTOM WITH LID
Ideal cookware should be of medium to heavy thickness, have a flat bottom, straight
sides and a well-fitting lid. When a pan is hot, the bottom of the pan should rest
evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking).
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO ELEMENT
The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.
