COOKTOP USE
The ceramic cooking area will glow red when a heating element is on. Some parts of the
cooktop may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal. The cooking area cycles
off and on, even when set to HI to keep the cooktop glass from overheating. It is normal for
the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot.
As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to maintain the
condition of the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass cooktop
cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. All of the items needed to
clean your ceramic glass cooktop are available at most grocery stores. See the "Range
Care" section for additional information.
•
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue
and water can leave deposits when heated.
•
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the
cooktop could crack the cooktop.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop
cools as air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic
glass could break when the lid is removed.
•
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as possible. If sugary
spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting
and permanent marks.
•
Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.
•
While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the surface is still
warm.
•
To avoid scratches, 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. They could
leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop do not allow objects that could melt such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Prepare your cooktop before first use
1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front burners and turn them on HI heat for at
least 30 minutes. Turn off the front burners.
4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear burners and turn them on HI heat for at
least 30 minutes. Turn off the rear burners.
