About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the 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.
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases
as the element wattage increases.
How the cooktop works
About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design
of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the
surface element underneath. Make sure the
diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred
up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cookware, the number
of surface elements in use and the settings, are all
factors that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The
areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
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 flat (refer to page 14
for using correct cookware on the cooktop).
• Please read the detailed instructions for
ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in both the
Care and Cleaning and Before You Call
sections of this Use and Care Manual.

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel. When the upper oven is operational,
warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The
venting is necessary for proper air circulation and
provides good baking results in the upper oven.
DO NOT BLOCK THIS VENT.
