Radiant
surface units
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE:
This cooktop has Rapid Response surface
units. The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool
down to the desired power level setting in the quickest
time possible. While the surface units are on, you
may not see them glow red during certain heat up or
cool down conditions.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number
of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units
turned on, surface temperatures are high.
Always use caution when touching the cooktop.
The ON/OFF indicator lights will come on
next to the Warmer and Dual surface units
when activated. Lights also activate for the
(Pan Detect) and
(Control Lock) features
when they are turned on. The indicator lights
will go off when the surface unit or feature is
turned off.
The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light
will glow when its corresponding radiant element
is turned on, and will remain on until the surface
has cooled below 150°F.
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
•
Come on when the surface unit is turned on.
•
Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
•
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 150°F.
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.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is
cool.
Never place cookware on the control area.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.

DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the control
or cooktop because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
•
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.
