Glass-Ceramic Surface
(select models)
CAUTION:
Do not use the cooktop if the glass is
broken or if metal melts on to it. Call an
authorized servicer. Do not attempt to
repair it yourself.
COOKING AREAS
The cooking areas on your range are identified
by permanent patterns on the glass-ceramic
surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan
size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
inch beyond the cooking area.
For more information on cookware, refer to
"Cooking Made Simple" booklet.
WARMING CENTER
(SELECT MODELS)
HOT SURFACE
LIGHT ON COOKTOP
HOT SURFACE LIGHT
The hot surface indicator light is located at
the front center of the cooktop. The light will
be illuminated when any cooking area is hot.
It will remain on, even after the control is
turned off, until the area has cooled.
DUAL ELEMENT
(select models)
Select glass-ceramic surfaces are equipped
with a dual element located in the right front
position.
To operate, press the rocker switch on the
control panel to the left to control the small
element or to the right to
control the large element.
COOKWARE
To achieve optimum cooking performance, use
heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that
conform to the diameter of the cooking area.
(See "Cooking Made Simple" for cookware
characteristics and recommendations.)
WARMING CENTER
(select models)
Use the Warming Center to keep cooked
foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies
and oven-safe dinner plates.
Push the switch on the control panel to turn
the Warming Center on and off.
NOTES:
WARMING CENTER
➢ All foods should be covered with a lid
or aluminum foil to maintain food qual-
ity.
1
/
to 1-
➢ When warming pastries and breads
2
the cover should have an opening to
allow moisture to escape.
➢ Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods.
Plastic may melt on to the surface and
be very difficult to clean.
➢ Use only cookware and dishes rec-
ommended as safe for oven and
cooktop use.
➢ Always use oven mitts when remov-
ing food from the Warming Center as
cookware and plates will be hot.
➢ It is not recommended to warm food
for longer than one hour, as food
quality may deteriorate.
➢ It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the Warming Center.
NOTES:
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE
❚ Cooktop may emit light smoke
and odor the first few times the
cooktop is used. This is normal.
❚ When a control is turned on, a red
glow can be seen through the
glass-ceramic surface. The ele-
ment will cycle on and off to main-
tain the preset heat setting.
❚ Glass-ceramic cooktops retain
heat for a period of time after the
unit is turned off. Turn the ele-
ment off a few minutes before
food is completely cooked and
use the retained heat to complete
the cooking. When the HOT SUR-
FACE light turns off (see below),
the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch.
Because of the heat retention
characteristics, the elements will
not respond to changes in set-
tings as quickly as coil elements.
In the event of a potential
boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking area.
❚ NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop.
TIPS TO PROTECT THE
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE
➢ Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 13.)
➢ Do not use glass pans. They may scratch
the surface.
➢ Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean imme-
diately. (See Cleaning, page 13.)
➢ Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage
the surface and pan.
➢ Never use cooktop as a work surface or
cutting board. Never cook food directly on
the surface.
➢ Never place a trivet or wok ring between
the surface and pan. These items can
mark or etch the top.
