General Information About Radiant Modules
The radiant module features heating coils beneath a
smooth glass ceramic surface. The two surface units
are shown by outlines on the glass.
• When a surface unit is activated, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be
instantly visible through the glass. It will take the
surface unit a few moments to heat up. The coil
cycles on and off to maintain your selected control
setting. The coils have temperature limiters to
prevent runaway temperatures.
• If you are storing modules, do not stack them or
store other materials on top of them, as damage to
the glass ceramic surface of the radiant module is
likely. Be careful not to damage or bend the
electrical plug.
• Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass module. An overheated copper pot
will leave a residue that will permanently stain
the module.
• Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear
as small scratches. They can be removed with the
recommended cleaning creme and a razor scraper.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the surface unit
can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The
red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain
the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you
will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on.
Good, fiat cookware will minimize the cycling.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when the
surface is cool.
