again. (Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.)
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the surface
heating unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface units. To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil.
®
Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settingsmBoilovers cause smoking

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 up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookwore.
Only fiat-bottom cookwore should be used. The type and size of cookwore,
the number of surface elements in use and their settings, ore oil factors that
wiii affect the amount of heat that wiii spread to areas beyond the surface
elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to
cause burns.
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 o
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 Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage
ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as
the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements ore located on the cooktop as follows:
2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear position;
- o dual 6 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right front position;
- o 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
NOTE: (White gloss cooktops only) Due
to the high intensity of heot generoted by
the surfoce elements, the gloss surfoce
will turn light green when the element
is first turned off. This phenomenon is
normal and the glass will come back
to its original white color after it has
completely cooled down.
NOTE: Please 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.
NOTE: Radiant elements have o limiter that allows the element to cycle on
and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic
glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and con also occur if the
cookwore is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not fiat (Refer to page 10 for using correct cookware instructions with the
cooktop).
