COOKTOP USE

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops
with white ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible,
and may require more cleaning and care. For more information,
see “General Cleaning” section.

■

Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.

■

Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

■

For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.

■

Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the
cooktop.

■

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot
be removed completely.

■

Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

■

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.25 cm)
outside the area.

■

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
