The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

SURFACE

COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass.

Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of

the surface unit you are cooking on.

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 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.

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a

temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the

glass cooktop from getting too hot.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the

cooktop because it can scratch the

glass—the glass is scratch resistant,

not scratch proof.

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.
