information
about
halogen/
radiant
surface
units
The halogen/radiant
cooktop teatures
heating
units beneath
a smooth glass ceramic surtace.
The surthce units are shown by outlines on the
glass.
Betore you use the cooktop for the first time,
clean it with Cooktop
(leaning
Cream. This
helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop 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.
When a surthce unit is turned on, coils beneath
the surt, tce unit radiate
heat through
the glass
to the cookware. The red glow of the coils will
be visible through
the glass. It will take the
surthce unit a tew moments
to heat up. The
coil cycles on and off to maintain
your selected
control setting. With poor cookware, you will
see fiequent
cycling of the unit off and on.
Good, flat cookware _dll minimize
the cycling.
Use onlyfla/-bot/omed
cookware. Do not let pots
boil dry. Overheated
metal can bond to glass
cooktop.
An overheated
copper pot will leave a
residue that will permanently
stain the glass.
Sliding ahmfinum
cookware across the glass
may leave metal marks. These metal marks
will appear as small scratches. They can be
removed
with ( ooktop Cleaning
(ream
and
a razor
scraper.
It is safe to place hot cookware tiom the oven
or surtace on the glass ceramic surtace when
the surtace is cool.
Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop.
Pan
edges that are even slightly rough or grit on the
cooktop can cause scratches
on the glass.
Even after the surthce units are turned
off, the
glass ceramic cooktop retains enough
heat to
continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans tiom the surthce units when the
tood is cooked. Avoid placing anything
on the
surtace unit until it has cooled completely.
Differences
between
halogen
and
radiant
surface
units
Some cooktops
have both radiant
and halogen
surthce units. This is how they differ.
•Halogen
units are much brighter
than the
radiant units. Radiant units have a dull red
glow.
•Halogen
and radiant units cycle on and off
tiequently.
This is normal. You will notice the
cycling more on the halogen
units because
of
their brightness.
•Radiant
coils take about 10 seconds longer to
glow than halogen units.
Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow
as brightly as the outer halogen coils.
