Cooktop
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo.
Push in and turn to setting.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is ON.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is ON. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle
off and back on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from
extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended
for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads,
or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit contains
all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic
glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional
information.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
■
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
■
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
■
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
REMEMBER:
When range is in use, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.
