About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements
below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the
ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface
elements underneath. Always match the pan size
with the diameter of the element outline on the
cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be
used.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in
most hardware, grocery and department stores)
to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean
paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams
leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
The type and size of cookware, the number of
surface elements in use, and their settings will all
aect 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.
IMPORTANT
• The cooktop should not be used as a cutting
board or work surface.
• Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
• Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without a cooking utensil) is not recommended, as dicult cleaning will result, and
foods may smoke and cause potential fire
hazard.
• Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass cooktop. Any cookware that has a
rough or dirty bottom can scratch the ceramic
cooktop. Always start with clean cookware.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
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 o. The heating element retains
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent
heat during the o cycle.
For ecient cooking, turn the element o several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned o. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the
element or surrounding area is touched before it
has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrapping on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip
bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fire.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that
can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they
will damage the cooktop.
NOTE
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows
the element to cycle on and o, even at the HI
setting.
• Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil
cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning”
section and “Before You Call” checklist section
of this Use and Care Guide.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence
the heat setting needed for best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 1: Testing
cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see “Figure 1: Testing
cookware”). Cookware
should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire
surface of the heating
element.
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some
types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and
resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the element.
The melting point of cookware made with these
materials may be reached quickly, especially if left
empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the
cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over
two dierent surface cooking areas at the same
time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline
the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.
• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two
circles. The dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller inner element or both inner
and outer elements may be set to heat together for a larger surface.
• Dual elements allow more flexibility with the
size of cookware.
Figure 6: Single and Dual elements
Element On and Hot Surface Backlit Knobs
Each control knob features a backlight that indicates whether a cooktop surface element is ON or
HOT.
• A white glow means the element is ON.
• A red glow means the element is HOT. The red
backlight will glow when the element is still hot
enough to cause burns and will remain on after
the element is turned o until the surface has
cooled to a safe temperature.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points
when home canning with your appliance. Check
with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with
no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a
straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of
glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in
most hardware, grocery, and department stores)
to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean
paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams
leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should
be removed immediately after the cooktop has
cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks
can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with
rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the
bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic
glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The
glass surface could be hot from contact with hot
cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled suciently.
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop.
Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:

firmly, and pull o the shaft.
To replace a knob: line up the OFF marking and
push the knob into place.
