About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating units be-
neath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cook-
top 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 surface when the surface is
cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it
has cooled completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop be-
cause it can scratch the glass - the glass is
scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter. The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off
for a time if:
Indicator Lights (on radiant glass models only).
A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant elements
is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cool
enough to touch.
A Burner On indicator light will glow when any surface
unit is on.
NOTE: The Hot indicator light may glow between the sur-
face control settings of Min and OFF, but there is no
power to the surface units.
(on some models)
• 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 re-
move this discoloration.
• Do not 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.
• The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.
• There is no pan on the unit.
