Precautions for Long Life
and Good Appearance of
the Surface
Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® will protect the sur-
face and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact
but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the
glass surface.
Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass sur-
face; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the
cooktop.
Never cook food directly on the glass.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass sur-
face.
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.
Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.
Operation
Radiant Elements This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass
surface to provide the heat for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and off by
design (see Temperature Limiters, below.) There are an infinite number of heat
settings between the 1-9 positions.
Single Element To turn on a single element, push down on the control knob and turn in either
direction to the desired heat setting.
Figure 4 - Single Element
Dual Element The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be
selected for use.
To turn ON the small, inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it
clockwise. Set to desired heat level.
To turn ON both the inner and outer elements together, push down on the control
knob and turn it clockwise past the number 9 setting to the dual element marker.
The dual ON indicator light will glow indicating that the dual element is on. Turn
the knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. To turn off the dual element, turn
the knob to the OFF position.
