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.
■
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than
1
/
2
" (13 mm)
outside the area.
■
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and
the cookware.
■
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
■
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
on the cooktop.

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the display panel.
When any cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the
Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On ceramic glass models, the Hot surface indicator light is located

The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area is turned off.
Dual Zone Cooking Element
The Dual Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
Warming Zone
Use the cooktop Warming Zone to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Zone can be used alone or when any of the other
surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warming Zone area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, the Cooktop On indicator light will be displayed when
the Warming Zone is in use.
■
Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
■
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap
to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
■
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
