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
cookware. Only flat-bottom 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.
Figure 1
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.
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 are located on the cooktop as
follows:
- two 6 inch single radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;
- one 9 / 12 inch Double element located at the right front
positions;
- one 9” single Turbo boil radiant element located at the left front
position;
- a Warmer Zone located at the center rear position.
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 a 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 can also occur if the cookware is too small for
the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer
to page 12 for correct cookware instructions).
Figure 2
Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface
will turn to a pale 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.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings 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.

How the Electronic Surface Element Controls work when the Sabbath feature is ON.
When your Oven Sabbath feature is ON, the Electronic Surface Elements are also in Sabbath mode. This means that
all electronic surface element control displays show “Sb”. The surface elements can be used even if the Sabbath Feature is on.
To turn ON a Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Feature is active:
With the Sabbath feature active, a surface element will not start heating until 15-30 seconds after you turn it on. The
heat setting you have turned to will not appear in the display because “Sb” is showing there. Any adjustment to the heat
setting will also take 15 -30 seconds to go into effect.
To turn OFF the Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Mode is active:
To shut off the surface element while the Sabbath feature is ON, press the ON/OFF button for that element. The element will immediately turn off without delay.
Note: Refer to the Sabbath Feature section.

Setting Surface Controls
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature provides a digital display
of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC display in combination
with the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo
(Figure 6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0
(Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between
3.0 (Figures 3 & 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or
increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for
more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface
Setting Chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are
preparing.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
When using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very
hot. The hot surface indicator light will turn ON when the element is hot enough
to cause burns, and will remain ON until the cooktop has cooled enough to be
safe to touch. Note: The hot surface message can turn ON when the upper oven
is in self-clean mode.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the
Cooktop Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is
active, “ - - “ will appear in all display windows (See Figure 8).
ESEC PF message
The ESEC will display briefly the PF message (Figure 9) whenever there has
been a power interruption to the appliance. The PF message will disappear by
itself after a few seconds.

Operating the Dual Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a Dual radiant surface
element located at the right front cooktop position (Figure
1). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are
used to indicate what portions of the Dual radiant element
will heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner
element will heat (Figure 2). The OUTER light indicates
that both inner and outer elements will heat together
(Figure 3). You may switch between these different settings
at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Touch and hold the

within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.
3. Select the INNER (Figure 2) or OUTER (both elements) (Figure 3) to heat
by pressing the
lights with OUTER selected). Note: If no element size is chosen when the
dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only.
4. Touch HI
pad once for Lo (See Figure 4).
5. Each touch of the HI
power levels from 9.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the
lowest power level available.
Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is
ON.
6. When cooking has been completed touch the
entire element OFF.
Each dual surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. The different glow of the 2 elements is normal and doesn’t affect
heating performance (See Figure 3). A glowing red surface heating area
extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware
is too small for the surface heating area.

Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See
page 8 for recommended surface cooking settings.
Note: The Hot Surface message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as the element is still hot and will
remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. But the glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings 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.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone
The Warm & ReadyTMzoneradiant element is located at the center rear position
(Figure 1). The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer
Zone.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
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 or aluminum foil to
cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended by the item
manufacturer for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.
To Set the Warmer Zone Control:
The control and indicator lights are located on the control panel.

Surface Cooking
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness
by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence
the setting needed for best cooking results.

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 & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum
above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor 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.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Before Setting the Oven Controls
1 Oven Rack
Multiple Oven Racks
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple racks, stagger
cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
