POSSIBLE CAUSE
• You may not notice the surface units glowing unless you are using
a higher heat setting.
• Incorrect cleaning methods have been used, cookware with rough
bottoms have been used, or coarse particles (salt or sand) were
between the cookware and the surface of the cooktop. Use
recommended cleaning procedures, be sure cookware bottoms and
cookware are clean before use, and use cookware with smooth
bottoms. Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible
in time as a result of cleaning.
• Marks from aluminum and copper pans as well as mineral deposits
from water or food can be removed with the cleaning cream.
• Hot surface on a model with a white glass cooktop. This is normal.
The surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is temporary
and will disappear as the glass cools.
Food spillovers should always be cleaned before the next use of the
cooktop, following the cleaning instructions in the Glass Cooktop
Cleaning section.
See the Glass Surface—Potential for Permanent Damage section in the
Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.
A hot sugar mixture was spilled on the cooktop. Call a qualified
technician for replacement.
