Radiant
surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop
is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of
new parts and insulating materials and will
disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with a white glass cooktop, it is
normal for the surface to appear discolored when it
is hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the
glass cools.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface on the glass cooktop when the
surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they
drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

COOKING
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of the
surface unit you are cooking on.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
