CAUTIONS:
DO NOT use wire trivets, fire rings,
pads or any such items between the
cookware and the element.
DO NOT cook foods directly on
cooktop.
DO NOT allow pan to boil dry as
this could damage the cooktop and
the pan.
DO NOT slide heavy metal or glass
cookware across glass-ceramic sur-
face since these may scratch the sur-
face.
DO NOT use or place plastic items
anywhere on cooktop.
DO NOT use cartridge in the event
a break has occurred.
DO NOT drop heavy cookware on
the cooktop surface.
CONVENTIONAL
COIL ELEMENTS
The conventional coil cartridge is the most
versatile of the cartridges. When an ele-
ment is on, it will cycle on and off to main-
tain the heat setting.
RADIANT AND
HALOGEN ELEMENTS
The two cooking areas are identified by
circles on the glass-ceramic cooktop. When
an element is turned on, the cooktop will
heat up and the red glow of the heating
element can be seen through the glass-ce-
ramic top. (NOTE: On halogen model, a
circular halogen bulb will glow instantly.) It
is normal to see the red glow of the ele-
ment whenever it cycles on. The element
will cycle on and off for all control settings
except Hi. However, it may also cycle on
Hi if improper cookware is used.

Select heavy gauge cookware. Gen-
erally, heavy gauge cookware will not
change shape when heated.
Use cookware with flat, smooth
bottoms. To determine if the cookware
is flat, place the edge of a ruler on the
bottom. Hold up to the light. No light
should be visible between the edge of
the ruler and the pan. Reject any pans
that do not fit flush against ruler's edge.
Match the size of the cookware to
the size of the element. Cookware
should be the same size or slightly larger.
IMPROPER COOKWARE
DO NOT use cookware that extends
more than one inch beyond the cooking
area.
Cookware that is smaller in diameter
than the cooking area should not be used.
Not only can this cause the element to
require more energy and time, but can
also result in spillovers burning onto the
cooking area resulting in a cleaning chore.
DO NOT use specialty items that are
nonflat, oversized, uneven or do not meet
proper cookware specifications such as
round bottom woks with rings, griddles,
rippled bottom canners, lobster pots,
large pressure canners, etc. Large uten-
sils, such as pressure canners or over-
sized skillets, should be used only on
conventional coil cartridges.
Glass-ceramic, earthenware, heat proof
glass or glazed cookware may scratch the
glass-ceramic cooktop and therefore are
not recommended.
NOTE: On halogen cartridge only, alu-
minum pans may cause the element to
cycle even when the control setting is
Hi.
