Before Setting Surface Controls
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-porcelain cookware or
ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage
the ceramic cooktop.
HOT SURFACE indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface
indicator lights that will glow on the control panel — the HOT
SURFACE indicator lights.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any surface
cooking element heats up and will remain on until the cooktop
has cooled to a moderate level
Figure 2: Hot Surface indicators
Important notes:
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning
and Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.
Types of Cooktop Surface Elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass
will outline the size and type of element available.
The single radiant element or elements will have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warmer zone feature
(on some models), located on the center rear area of the
cooktop, uses one round outline and is designed to keep food
warm only.
A dual (on some models) radiant element allows the user to set
the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and
outer portions may be set to heat together.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
Tips and procedures for canning foods:
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to
bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop
to fracture.
