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 from the oven
or surface on the glass surface when the
surface 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
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.

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
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot
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.
