Your ceramic cooktop controls are
set the same as the range top con-
trols described on the preceding
page. However, instead of metal
coii Calrod@' units, your cooking
surface is an embossed sunburst
pattern on a smooth ceramic top.
The heat is transferred
from a
heating element below the surface,
through the ceramic top, to the
bottom
of the cooking
utensil.
This, in turn, heats the food. As it
heats, the cooking surface turns
yellow. When the control is turned
to OFF, the cooking area cools and
returns to its original white color.
s Do not leave plastic items on
cooking area.
@Do not cook foods packaged
in their
aluminum
foil trays or
wrapped in aiuminurn foil on glass
ceramic. Foil can melt and fuse to
the
unit
causing
perm an,ent
damage.
@Keep bottom
of utensil
and
cooking surface clean and dry. In
dusty or sandy areas, wipe the
utensil and cooking surface to pre-
vent scratching the ceramic fin ish.
@Wipe up spills and spatters when
cooktop is COOI but before they
bum onto the surface, Be sure to
wipe area next to the unit you have
been using, in case food has spat-
tered on these areas. CAUTlON:
Be careful to avoid steam burns on
your hand when wiping the cook-
top.
@Avoid scratching
the cooktop
with rings or other jewelry.
@During cooking, utensil lids coi-
Iect condensed
steam.
If con-
densation drips on the cooktop,
mineral deposits in the water or
food can stain the cooking sur-
face.
Lift
utensil
lids so con-
densation drips back into the uten-
sil instead of on the cooktop.
@Use heat settings no higher than
MED or follow manufacturer's di-
rections when using utensils made
of the following
materials: cast
iron, glass ceramic (pyroceram),
and stainless steel. Also, enamel-
ware which under certain condi-
tions could melt and fuse to the
cooking panel when higher heats
are used. Manufacturers of glass
cooking utensils also recommend
using heats no higher than MED.
If not properly cared for, your
ceramic
cooktop
can
become
stained and the original white fin-
ish permanently discolored. Since
soil build-up is the only cause of
discoloration,
spatters and spills
must be cleaned
up properly.
Heavy build-up can cause a yellow
or brownish-grey glass film even
when the cooktop is cool. How-
ever, the film is on the surface only
and can be removed.
To keep the ceramic cooktop look-
ing like new, follow these steps.
Before first
using the ceramic
cooktop, clean it with the Cleaner-
Conditioner packed in your range.
Step 1: Simply put a small amount
of cleaner directly on the center of
each sunburst pattern. Clean with
a damp paper towel. Wipe off with
another clean, damp cloth, Wipe
dry. NOTE: Use the Cleaner-Condi-
tioner each day to remove all vis-
ible soil from the ceramic cooktop.
At least once a week, clean the
cooktop with Bar Keepers Friend@
Cleanser which is especially formu-
lated for cleaning glass-ceramic
appliance tops and cookware.
Step 2: To use, apply Bar Keepers
Friend@ to damp paper towel "and
rub into stain until it is remcved.
Be sure cooking surface is cooled.
(For stubborn stains, apply a paste
of Bar Keepers Friend@ and water,
cover with a wet paper towel, and
let stand for about 45 minutes.)
After using Bar Keepers Friend@,
always clean with Cleaner-Condi-
tioner following directions in Step 1.
NOTE: The Cleaner-Conditioner
and Bar Keepers Friend@ Cleanser
is sold in many grocery, hardware,
and department stores.
For other specific soils or scratches,
refer to page 31 entitled "Glass-
Ceramic Cooktop." This chart gives
problems, causes, preventions, and
ways to best remove most stains.
