When a cooking zone is activated, coils beneath the
zone radiate heat through the glass to the utensil° The
red glow of the coils will be visible through the glass. It
will take the cooking zone on the surface a few moments
to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
See the Ciean_ng Tips for important informa-
tion about maintaining your cooktop.
The surface will retain heat after controls
have been turned off. The HOT SURFACE
Indicator light glows until the cooktop has
cooled to a safe temperature. This may
take up to an hour after use. The temperature of the
metal frame around the glass will also rise during
cooktop use. Use caution when working around your
cooktop, especially If more than one cooking zone is
on or if using the cooktop for an extended period of
time. Be careful not to get burned when the unit has
not had time to cool after use.
Do not slide cookware on the surface as it may scratch
the glass.
Never cook food directly on the glass. You must use
proper cookware. Do not use surface as a cutting
board.
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that:
A. Have flat bottoms and straight sides.
B. Have light handles that do not tilt pans.
C. Are about the same size as the element.
Note: A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. itis caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
Questions & Answee, s
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental
wok, on any of the cooking zones?
A. We recommend that you use only flat bottomed
woks. Cookware without flat surfaces is not recom-
mended.
Q. May I can foods and preserves on my maintop cook-
ing zones?
A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning
purposes. Check the manufacturer's Instructions
and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is
flat-bottomed and fits over the center of the cooking
zone selected. Canning should only be done on the
maintop cooking zones. Canning generates large
amounts of steam; be careful to avoid burns.
Q. Why am I not getting the heat Ineed from my selected
cooking zone even though the knob is on the right
setting?
A. Use cookware with flat bottoms and center the cook-
ware inside the circle for the cooking zone selected.
Metal cookware will conduct heat best.
