Before Setting Surface Controls
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
cool<ware. Only fiat-bottom
cookware
should be used. The type
and size of cookware,
the number
of surface elements
in use and
their settings, are ail 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.
Locations
of the Radlanf
Surface
Elements
and
Controls
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.
The radiant
surface
elements are located
on the cooktop
as
follows:
- two 6 inch radiant
elements located
at the right and left
rear positions;
- a 6 / 9 / 12 inch triple
element
located
at the right front
position;
- a 9 inch turbo boil radiant
element
located
at the left front
position.
- a Warm & Ready Zone located
at the center rear position;
Note:
(White
glass
cooktops
only) Due to the high
intensity
of heat
generated
by the surface
elements,
the glass
surface
will
turn green
when
the element
is first
turned
off.
This
phenomenon
is normal
and the glass
will
come
back
to its
original
white
color
after
it has completely
cooled
down.
Radiant
surface elements may appear
to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled
sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of
the range when
if is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders,
towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too dose to the surface elements.

Note:
Please read detailed
instructions for ceramic
glass
cooktop
cleaning
in the General Care & Cleaning
section
and Before
You Call checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide.
Note:
Radiant
elements
have a limiter
that
allows
the
element
to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This
helps to prevent
damage
to the ceramic
glass cooktop.
Cycling
at the HI setting
is normal
and can also occur
if
the cookware
is too small for the radiant
element
or if the
cookware
bottom
is not fiat.
