NOTE: Please read detailed instructions forceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the GeneraJ Care & CJeaning section
and Before You Cal checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide,
NOTE: Radiant elements
have a Iimiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the Hi setting. This
helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling
at the Hi setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is
too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom
is not fiat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting Surface Cooking
Utensils).
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the
surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when
the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal
and the glass will come back to its original white color
after it has completely cooled down. (White glass
cooktops only).
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 (See Figure 1).
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 their 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
E_ements
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.
Locations
of the Radiant
Surface
E_ements and
Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quickerand in
larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
Model A (See Figure 1):
- Two dua! 5or7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear
position;
- Two dua! 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the rig ht and left front
position;
Model B (see Figure 1):
- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;
- A dua! 6 / 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 6 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Model C (see Figure 1):
- Two 6 inchradiant elements at the right and left roar position;
- A duaJ 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Model O (See Figures
! and2):
- Two 6 inch radiant ebments at the right and bft rear position;
- A dual 9 / 12 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;
- A Warmer Zone radiant element located between the right
and left rear position;
