Before Using the Cooktop

ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP

The ceramic cooktop has radiant and induction surface elements located below
the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of
the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches
the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1 & 2).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only
flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the
number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect
the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The
areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

LOCATIONS OF THE SURFACE ELEMENTS

Your cooktop is equipped with radiant and induction surface elements with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the element wattage increases.

- 1 small radiant element located at the left rear position;

- 1 dual radiant element located at the left front position;
