About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the

element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1).

Heat is transferred upthrough the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use

and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The

areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface E_ements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface E_ements and

Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quickerand in

larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as

follows:

Model D shown Only - Figure 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions forceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the GeneraJ Care & CJeaning section and Before You Cal checklist section of this Use and Care

Guide, NOTE: Radiant elements have a Iimiter that allows the

element to cycle on and off, even at the Hi setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling

at the Hi setting is normal and can occur ifthe cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom

isnot fiat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the

surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
