About the radiant surface elements...
The radiant cooktop features heating
elements beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cool<top is used for the first time. It is
caused by the heating of new ports and
insulating materials and will disappear
in o short time.
NOTE:On models with light-colored gloss
cool<tops,it is normal for the cooking zones
to change color when hot or cooling down.
This is temporary and will disappear as
gloss cools to room temperature.
The surface element will cgcle on and off
to maintain gour selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware (from the
oven or surface) on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Evenafter the surface elements are tumed
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface elements
when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing utensils that could become
hot or plastics that could melt on the
surface element until it has cooled
completelg.
