About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface.
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.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass
surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off,
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to
continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything
on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
Indicator Lights (on radiant glass models only)
A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant element is hot
and will remain on (even after the unit is turned off) until the
Max
surface is cool enough to touch.
A Burner On indicator light will glow when any surface unit
is on.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the cleaning cream or full-
strength white vinegar.
■ Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■ Don't store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can
cause damage.
■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units
off for a time if:
■ the pan boils dry.
■ the pan bottom is not flat.
■
the pan is off-center.
■ there is no pan on the unit.
