ABOUT SURFACE COOKING
BEFORE COOKING
CAUTION
•
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
•
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
•
Turn the surface units on only after placing the cookware.
•
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.
DURING COOKING
•
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
CAUTION
holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent
could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
•
Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
•
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
•
Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
•
Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
•
Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
•
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to remove.
AFTER COOKING
CAUTION
•
Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
•
The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled down sufficiently.
•
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
•
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the
items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant element will glow
red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking,
turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware
bottom is not flat.
