Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass
Cool<top
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below
the
surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the
area of
the surface unit betow_ Most importantly,
make sure the diameter
of the
pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred
up through
the
surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed
pans
should be used, The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units
in use and the settings of the units are factors that will' affect the
amount
of heat that wilt spread to areas surrounding
the surface units;
The areas
surrounding
the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
Thdcao_{_p
should not be used as a cutting board or work surface
in the
kitchen
Dropping
heavy or hard objects on the cool<top may crack
it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not
place foods
directly on the smoothtop
surface (without
cooking utensils) damage
to
glass or difficulty
in cleaning will result
Radiant
Surface
Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic
fixture below the glass coo_op.
The unit temperature
rises gradually
and
t'rl
evenly,, As the temperature
rises, the unit will glow red To maintain
the .....
selected setting, the unit wi_i cycle on and off, The heating unit
retain]
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during
the
off cycle.
The ceramic fixture thermally
insulates the heating unit, concentrating
heat
in the heating zone. For efficient
cooking, turn off the unit several
minutes
Z
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete
the
Cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type
and
quality of cooking utensil, the quantity
of food being cooked and the
selected heat setting
Dual Radiant
_<urface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant su_ace unit is made up of an inner and outer
coil within
the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used
for
operating
the different
coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower
wattage
and can be used to prepare smaller quantities
of food
in smaller
pans
The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher
wattage
and can be used to prepare larger quantifies of food in larger pans
When
using the outer coil, both inner and outer colts operate.
indicator
Light(s)
There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your
range--a
surface indicator
and a hot cooktop
surface indicator',
The surface
indicator,
located on the control panel, glows when
any
surface unit is turned on A quick glance at the light after cooking
is an
easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop
surface indicator,
located unde_ the glass cool(top
or' on
the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats
up and
will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down
