Indicator Lights
(glass cooktops only)
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow when any
radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until
the surface is cool enough to touch.
A surface unit ON indicator light will glow when any
surface unit is on.
NOTE: The surface unit ON indicator light may glow between the
surface control settings of LO and OFF, but there is no power to
the surface units.
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 from the oven or
surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking.
To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface
units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing
anything on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
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.
Dual Surface Unit Switch
The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from
so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware
you are using.
To use the small (6 inch) surface unit, push in the
SMALL BURNER portion of the switch next to the

control knob.

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, push in the
LARGE BURNER portion of the switch.
