ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass.
The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make
sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom
cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements
in use and the settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to
areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This
will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability
to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
