Smoothtop Surface

Notes: , Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal. Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time

after the element is turned off. Turnthe elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use

the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot sur- face light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough

to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in

settings as quickly as coil elements.

, In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from

the cooking surface.

, Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is

hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. Formost efficient cooking,

fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than !/2 to 1=inchbeyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the preset heat setting, even on HIGH. For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware Recommendations

, Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.

, Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

, Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not

specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks & Scratches

, Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface. , Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

, Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. ([See Cleaning Procedures, page 4.)

, Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before

turning on to prevent scratches.

, Toprevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic

top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel

before using.

, Never slide heavy metal pans across the surface since

these may scratch.

To Prevent Stains

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains

on the cooking surface after the area is heated. Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in

a permanent stain.

on page 8.

Tips to Protect the

Smoothtop Surface

Cleaning (see page 4 for more information)

, Before first use, clean the cooktop. , Clean your cooktop daily or after each use.This will keep

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

, If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediatelyclean the

spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a

clean, dry towel.

To Prevent Other Damage

, Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar

content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.([SeeCleaning Procedures, page 4.)

, Never let a pan boil dry asthis will damage the surface and

pan.

, Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. , Never cook food directly on the surface. , Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does

this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area, which requires extra cleaning.

, Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or

uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

, Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto

the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized servicer.

Cookware Recommendations

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent

results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

See if your pans are flat.

The Ruler Test:

1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.

2. Hold it up to the light.

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.

The Bubble Test:

1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to HIGH.

2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven

bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

Flat,smooth-bottom Panswith grooved or warped bottoms. 9ans. Panswith uneven bottoms do not cook

efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid.

Heavy-gauge pans. Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans. Pansthat are the Pans smaller or larger than the

same size as the element by 1 inch. element.

Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles.

Heavy handles that tilt the pan.

Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids.

Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom.
