Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
radiant element power level
setting needed for best cook
ing results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in
Figure 2.
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

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). If aluminum p ans
slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(See Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature
is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic
cooktops.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.

heating area marked on
cooktop.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-ename l
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may
bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookwar e melts it will
damage the cooktop. Be sure to follow all the cookware

cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
(White glass cooktops only). Due to the high intensity of
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element is turned off.
This phenomenon is normal and the glass will return to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
NOTE
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 under
neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed
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.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or
work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the
cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop
surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface
(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as difficult
cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause
potential fire hazard.
Always lift cookware before moving on ceramic glass
cooktop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms
can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean
cookware.
-
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt,
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
• Radiant elements have a limiter 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
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or
if the cookware bottom is not flat.
• Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning
section and Before You Call checklist section of this
Use and Care Guide.
• The element on and hot surface indicator lights will
glow when the element is turned on and will continue
to glow after the control knob is turned to the OFF
position. It will glow until the heating surface area has
cooled sufficiently. The glass surface may still be hot
and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before the indicator light has turned off.
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 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator
light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn
on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will
remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera
ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface
elements are turned off.
Home Canning
Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning.
• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
-
• 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.
• 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 seating 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.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that
harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are
sealed completely. When canning in a water bath cann er,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously
for the required time.
‘
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 proce
dures.
-
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for an extended amount of time.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to
avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep
cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, cassero les,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should
be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results,
when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an
opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and
be very difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
warmer zone.
