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 from the
oven or surface on the glass surface 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.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass—the glass
is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
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.
