The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will
also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
English
• 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

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS
COOKTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
(see pages 27~28 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, immediately clean 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.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers
not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Marks and Scratches
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.”
(See Cleaning pages 27~28.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before
turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damaging 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.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these
may scratch.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as
safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from
the warming center as cookware and plates will be
hot.
• When warming pastries and breads the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
• Food should be kept in its container and covered
with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
• Do not warm food on the warming zone for more
than 2 hours.
• Placing uncooked or cold food on the warming zone
could result in foodborne illness.
To Prevent Stains
Do not 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.
To Prevent Other Damages
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content
to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning pages 27~28.)
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.
Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the surface.

SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING
GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
• Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the elements are turned off. Turn the elements
off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will cool down
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
cooktop 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.
• Do not 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 glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1/
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations.

SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING
USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
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 and cook food
more evenly. Stainless steel is recommended.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge or ruler
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the
pan.
2. Hold it up to the light.
3. No light should be visible under the
ruler.
Recommended
Flat bottom and
straight sides.
English
Heavy-gauge pans.
Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
Español
Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
Tight-fitting lids.
Flat bottom woks.
Curved, grooved, or warped
pan bottoms. Pans with
uneven bottoms do not cook
efficiently and sometimes may
not boil liquid.
Very thin-gauge metal or glass
pans.
Pans are smaller or larger than
the element.
Cookware with loose or broken
handles. Heavy handles that tilt
the pan.
Loose-fitting lids.
Woks with a ring-stand
bottom.
Incorrect
HOME CANNING TIPS
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the
element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms
may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and
cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smooth top surfaces.
Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil
or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil,
or pressure. If the heat is not turned down,the cooktop may
be damaged.
• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only
Note:
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 Service agent.
