SURFACE CONTROLS COOKING
COOKING AREAS
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
1
/
2
to 1-inch
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations.
Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
• Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the elements are turned off. Turn the elements
off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will cool down
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
cooktop elements will not respond to changes in settings as
quickly as coil elements.
• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.
• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
