General Information About Radiant Surface Units
The radiant
cooktop
features heating units beneath
a
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by
outlines on the glass.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean
it with Cook Top Cleaning
Creme. This helps
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
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.
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to
maintain your selected control setting. With poor
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling.
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktop.
An
overheated copper pot will
leave a residue that will
permanently stain the glass,
Sliding
aluminuln cookware across the glass may
leave
metal marks. These metal marks will appear as
small scratches. They can be removed with Cook
Top
Cleaning Creme and a razor scraper.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass surface when the surface is
cool.
Avoid sliding pans on the glass
cooktop.
Pan edges
that
are
even slightly rough or grit on the
cooktop
can
cause scratches on the glass.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop
retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on
the surface unit
until
it has cooled completely.

is
cool enough to touch. It is not unusual
for
the lights to
stay lit for 30 minutes.
