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 efcient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
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 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 at.
CAUTION
if the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s
Self-cleaning function is on.
The magnetic knob is a detachable control knob with a magnetic base you can use
to set and adjust the power level of any of the radiant elements on your cooktop
easily and intuitively.
To use the magnetic knob:
1. Place it in the center of the element
control of your choice. The knob’s
magnet holds it in place.
2. Press the POWER button to turn on the
cooktop, and then press the element’s
ON/OFF key within 20 seconds.
3. Grasp and turn the magnetic knob
within 10 seconds to set the element’s
power level.
With the cooktop powered on, if you put the magnetic knob over an unused
element on the control panel, the cooktop recognizes the knob and sets the power
level to 0. Then, you can change the power level using the knob.
NOTE
You can also set the power level by touching the element control with your nger.
See pages 18 and 19.
When an individual cooking zone or the cooktop is turned off, the presence
of residual heat is shown with an

Using the proper cookware
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times
and cook food more evenly.
Check for atness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware.
CORRECTINCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight 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.
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 as soon as the cooktop
cools down.
• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks
on ceramic glass (To remove, see above.)
• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
Operations
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 the 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 surface.
Protecting the cooktop
Cleaning
• Clean the cooktop before using it for the rst 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 you are 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.
