About the Ceramic G_ass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements iocated bellow
the surface of the giass. 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. Oniy fiat-bottom cookware shouid be used. The type
and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and
their settings, are ali factors that wHi affect the amount of heat
that wHispread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas
surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause
burns.
About the Radiant Surface E_ements
The element temperature rises gradualiy and eveniy. As the temperature rises, the element will]giow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element will] cyclic on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cyclic. For efficient cooking, turn off the eJement severaJ minutes before cooking is
complete. This will]allow residua] heat to compiete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface E_ements and Controms
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. , oa _:.....
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
- a 6 inch radiant element located at the right rear position;
- a 6 / 9/ 12 inch Triple element located at the right front
position;
- a 7 inch radiant element located at the center rear position;
- Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front
and rear positions, Located between the left front and rear
elements is a Bridge radiant element,

Note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the GeneraJ Care & Cteaning 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 fiat (Refer to page 14 for using correct cookware
instructions with the cooktop),
Figure 2
Note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface wiii
turn 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
stitt be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface istouched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not pJace pJastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon hoJders or ptastic 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.
Setting Surface Controls @ont'd)
The E_ectronic Surface E_ement Contro_ (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 are 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 8)
decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figures 8
& 4) and 1.0 (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 (See
Figure 12) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.
Hot Surface mndicator Lights
After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop wiii become very hot.
After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some
time. The "Not Surface" indicator light located on the glass cooktop wiii glow

Operating the Bridge Surface E_ement
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at
the left cooktop position (See Figure 1). indicator lights on the control
panel are used to indicate what portions of the Bridge element will
heat. The Bridge element begins with the left FRONT position only
(Figure 2) and when selected with the +BRIDGE element (Figure 3) it
will provide a combination of 2 heating surfaces. When set for ALL 3
element positions the left rear element is added for a total
combination of 3 even heating surfaces (See Figure 4).
The Bridge element is designed for rectangular or oval shaped
cookware. The griddle that is supplied with this appliance should be
used with the Bridge element ONLY. For round shaped cookware,
the left front element may be used as a single element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface E_ement:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface ebment.
2,
Touch and hold the pad for the Bridge element position until a beep
is heard, The display will show " - - " Note: if no further pads are
touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.
3. Select the FRONT (See Figure 2), +BRIDGE (See Figure 3) or ALL 3

6.
Each touch of the HI (_ or Lo _ pad will decrease or increase the
power level from 9.0 through 3.0 by .5 increments, Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.0 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 compbted touch the
pad once to turn the
ebment OFF.
Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A
glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cookware indicates the cookware is too smalt for the surface heating area.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still
hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently, if no element size is chosen when the Bridge element is
turned ON, the control will default to the left front element only. See page
10 for recommended surface cooking settings.

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,
¸:121111
To turn ON a Surface Element when the Oven Sabbath Feature is active:
if you turn on a surface element when the even Sabbath feature is on, the electronic surface element control wii[ record
that request and execute it with a 15-30 seconds delay, So the element wii[ start heating 15-30 seconds after the surface
element control was turned on, As the oven control the surface element display wii[ not show the setting because "Sb" is
on in the displays, When necessary, it is possible to adjust the power of the surface element but you have to remember
that the surface element control wii[ adjust the temperature with the same delay,
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, proceed as usual but take note that the element wii[
immediately turn off without any delay,
Note: Refer to page 33-34 to activate the Sabbath Feature.

Surface Cooking
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
Cookware shouid have fiat 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 wHiinfluence the
setting needed for best cooking
resuits.
Figure 1
Cookware Material types
The cookware materia] determines how eveniy and quickiy
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materiais availabie are:
ALUMINUM -Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
wiii 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 mRON- A poor heat conductor however wiii retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics wiii 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.
