SURFACE UNITS (Cont.)

Radiant Glass Cooktop

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.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is 
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or 
cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the 
glass cools to room temperature.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your 
selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even 
when the cooktop is cool.

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.

•   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 film.

• 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.

Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass 
Cooktops

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter. 

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from 
getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a 
time if:

•   the pan boils dry.

•   the pan bottom is not flat.

•   the pan is off-center.

•   there is no pan on the unit.

Never cook directly on the glass. 

Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the 

center of the surface unit you are 

cooking on.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the 

glass—the glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.
