How to Set
Push the knob down and turn in either
direction to the setting you want. When
the control is in any position other than Off,
it may be rotated without pushing it down.
At Off, Hi, Lo and Simmer, the control
clicks into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking, indicating
the control is keeping the power level
you set.
The controls for the radiant surface
elements can be set anywhere between Lo
or Simmer and Hi for an unlimited number
of heat settings. With the infinite switch,
the element cycles on and off to maintain
your selected control setting.
About the radiant surface elements...
The radiant cooktop features heating
elements beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is
caused by the heating of new parts and
insulating materials and will disappear
in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones
to change color when hot or cooling down.
This is temporary and will disappear as
glass cools to room temperature.
The surface element will cycle on and off
to maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware (from the
oven or surface) on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface elements are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface elements
when the food is cooked.
The On indicator light will glow when any
surface element is on.
A Hot Surface indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on
and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
NOTE:
s
It comes on when the element is hot
to the touch.
s
It stays on even after the element is
turned off.
s
It glows brightly until the element is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
s
Be sure you turn the control knob to Off
when you finish cooking.
Avoid placing utensils that could become
hot or plastics that could melt on the
surface element until it has cooled
completely.
s
Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream
or full strength white vinegar.
s
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The
cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
s
Don't store heavy items above the
cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop,
they can cause damage.
s
Do not use the surface as a cutting
board.
DRAGGING
Do not slide
cookware
across the
cooktop
because it can
scratch the
glass. The glass
is scratch-
resistant, not
scratchproof.
