Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
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 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).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow 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
• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Important note:
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of
cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly
especially if left empty & they may bond to the ceramic
cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be
sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer's suggestions when
using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
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. Be
sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the element
outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed 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.
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.
Before Setting Surface Controls
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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-porcelain cookware or
ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage
the ceramic cooktop.
HOT SURFACE indicator lights
Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface
indicator lights that will glow on the control panel -- the HOT
SURFACE indicator lights.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any surface
cooking element heats up and will remain on until the cooktop
has cooled to a moderate level
HOT SURFACE _1
Figure 2: Hot Surface indicators
Important notes:
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning
and Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.
Types of Cooktop Surface Elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass
will outline the size and type of element available.
The single radiant element or elements will have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warmer zone feature
(on some models), located on the center rear area of the
cooktop, uses one round outline and is designed to keep food
warm only.
A dual (on some models) radiant element allows the user to set
the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and
outer portions may be set to heat together.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
Tips and procedures for canning foods:
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to
bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop
to fracture.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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. 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.
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.

triple burner (front right)
Figure 4: Radiant cooktop burner settings with TURBO BOIL
Flex
Figure 5:
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: (Figure 3)
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear position;
- a dual 6 or 12 inch radiant element located at the right front
position;
- a 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Important note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high
intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface 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.
Important: 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.
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 10
for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
Use the chart below to determine the correct setting for the kind
of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to
simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews
and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate
foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Setting Surface Controls
Important notes:
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• 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.
Using Turbo BoiITM Flex Element
The Turbo Boil TM (Flex) feature uses a higher wattage surface
radiant element which can bring food items to boil much
quicker. (Figure 8) The left front radiant element will be clearly
marked if this feature is available on your range. If equipped

good baking results. Do not block oven vent:
oven vent location
Figure 11: Oven vent in rear of range top
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
Protective Liners -- DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recom-
mended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and

Figure 12: Variety of racks and their uses
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
