SURFACE COOKING UNITS
Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element.
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.
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, the handle of
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface
unit.
Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS
GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
COOKTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
(see pages 29N30 for more information)
Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. 'l_is 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, remove spill with a
proper metal scraper.
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 Nlarks 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, qSe pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly."
(See Cleaning pages 29~3o0
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean and dry
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.
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 tl-le 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.
• 'l%e 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/z to 1-inch
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.
Warming zone
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 29~3o.)
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.
