Using the ceramic glass cooktop
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar to
cooking on coil surface
units. There are, how-
ever, a few differences:
•
The cooking surface
area will glow red when
the element is turned
on. You will see the
element cycling on and
off – even on the HI
setting – to help the
area stay at the
temperature setting you chose.
•
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
•
Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers on the cooktop. The con-
tainer could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop
that cannot be removed completely.
•
Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop.
Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave
marks that are difficult to remove or could leave
permanent marks.
•
Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop
could crack it. Be careful when using heavy
skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans
above the cooktop.
Hot surface indicator light
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the cooktop will
glow when a surface unit becomes
too hot to touch. The Indicator Light
will continue to glow as long as the
surface unit is too hot to touch, even
after it is turned off.
•
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
Do not allow anything that could melt, such as
plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with
the cooktop while it is hot.
•
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
page 37 for more information.
•
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use
will help keep the surface free from stains and
give you the most even heating. See pages 37
and 38 for care and cleaning suggestions.
Cookware tips
•
Check for rough spots on the bottom of your
metal or glass cookware which could scratch the
ceramic surface.
•
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean
and dry before using them. Food and water
particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits
on the cooktop when it is heated.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cook-
ware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.
The cookware could overheat and damage itself
or the surface unit.
