Precautions
for
Long
Life
and Good
Appearance
of
the
Surface
• Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme
®
will protect the surface 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 surface; 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 surface.
• 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.
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Cooktop Operating Instructions
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show
when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. The
signal light will turn on automatically in the area marked
Caution - Hot at the center front.
The light remains
on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch
temperature.
If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Indicator LIGHTS
PAGE 4
Element ‘ON’ Indicator Light
The element “ON” indicator light glows whenever any
element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of
the elements are turned off.
The “ON” light is located in front of the control knobs.
For dual elements there is an additional "ON" indicator
light located at the top left of the control knob. This
light glows when both the inner and outer elements
are being used and the element is on. When using a
setting other than 9 (High), the light will cycle on and
off as the element cycles.
Retained Heat
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot
after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained
heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures
for a short time.
Note for Owners of White Cooktops: When
an element is hot, there is a light green tint on the
cooking surface. This is normal and will disappear
after several minutes as the surface cools down.
Control Knobs
The controls on the cooktop are marked to show which
element they control. All controls are marked from 1-9,
with 1 being the lowest heat setting and 9 the highest setting.
