ABOUT SURFACE COOKING
CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
Turn the surface units on only after placing the cookware.
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.
•
•
•
•
CAUTION
DURING COOKING
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent
could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to remove.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled down sufficiently.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the
items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
•

About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 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.
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 cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware
bottom is not flat.

14_ Surface cooking
USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended
cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.
Check for fl atness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight fi tting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt
pan.
Pan is well balanced.
Pan size matches the amount
of food to be prepared
and the size of the surface
element.
Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Always match pot diameter to
element surface diameter.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more
than one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
CHOOSING THE PROPER COOKWARE
What your cookware is made of 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 the aluminum to
darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid
across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove
these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic
glass (see above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to
clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelainenamel 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.

PROTECTING THE SMOOTHTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
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 the 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 a glass-ceramic surface.
Preventing marks and scratches
Do not use glass cookware. They may scratch the cooktop.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or
scratch the cooktop.
Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.
Preventing 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.
Preventing other damage
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop.
Should this happen, clean immediately.
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
Do not cook food directly on the cooktop without the proper cookware.

good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached
the desired temperature, a long beep will sound 6 times.
CAUTION
Use caution with the timed cooking or delay timed cooking features. Use these
features when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods
that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fi sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator fi rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than
1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is
completed. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.

SELF-CLEANING
A self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover
grease and residue completely or reduce them to a fi nely powdered ash that you can wipe away
with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch.
Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with
aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to
the interior surface of the oven).
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is
complete. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Before a self-cleaning cycle
Fig. 1
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the self-cleaning
cycle.
Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean
these areas with hot water, soap-fi lled steel-wool pads or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water
and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fi berglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for
the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn
or frayed, replace it. (Fig. 2)
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
