Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units 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: This cooktop has Rapid Response surface units. The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool down
to the desired power level setting in the quickest time possible. While the surface units are on, you may not see them glow red during certain heat up or cool down conditions.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.
1HYHU FRRN GLUHFWO\ RQ WKH JODVV
Always use cookware.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended
