COOKTOP USE

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and 
LOW. 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 may cycle on and off to 
maintain the selected heat level. 
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 Part Number 
31605 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 permanent 
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.
