COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch resistant,
not scratch proof.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.

About the 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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface even when the cooktop 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.
Using the radiant surface units. (glass cooktops only)
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off
for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.
