Using the surface units.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
The right front surface unit has 2
cooking sizes to select from so you
can match the size of the unit to the
size of the cookware you are using.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is keeping the
power level you set.
The control must be pushed in to set only
from the OFF position. When the control
is in any position other than OFF, it may be
rotated without pushing it in.
The UNIT ON indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
About the radiant surface units...
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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat
to continue cooking. To avoid over-
cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid
placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.

. Push in and turn the control knob to
the desired setting. The unit will heat the
entire area contained by the larger circle.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surface units that are on. With
3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures
are high so be careful when touching the
cooktop.
A HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on,
and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
NOTE:
It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.
It stays on even after the unit is turned off.
It glows brightly until the unit is cooled to
approximately 150°F.
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 discoloration.
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.

unit, turn the COIL SELECT knob

setting. The unit will only heat the area
