Thecookingsurfaceareasofyourglassceramiccooktopareidentiedbypermanent
patterns in the cooktop. The appliance is easy to maintain and easy to clean. Keeping the
cooktop in top performance can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for use and
cleaning below:
Cookware
Chancesarethatyourexistingcookwarewillworkjustnewithyourglassceramic
cooktop. Cooking on a glass ceramic cooktop does not require special pots or pans. Since
cookwareplaysanimportantroleincookingefciencyandconvenience,keepinmindthe
following information when selecting your cookware.
Thecookwareshouldhaveaatbottom.Althoughglassandothertypesofcookwarecan
beused,metalcookwarewiththick,smooth,atbottomswillgenerallyconducttheheat
well. Aluminum and stainless steel cookware usually works best. Avoid cookware with
shaped and rounded bottoms as well as utensils that warp when heated.
Use cookware of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about as
wide as the cooking zone on which it is used – not much wider or much narrower. By using
utensilswiththecorrectdiameter,youshouldachievemaximumheatingefciencywiththe
shortest possible boiling times.
Be certain that both the cooktop panel and the bottom of your pots and pans are clean
and dry before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains.
Heating Elements
This KENYON cooktop contains ribbon-type, radiant heating elements. The radiant
elements will “light up” about 4-5 seconds after being turned on. The special design of
theseelementsdirecttheheatupthroughtheceramicglassprovidingefcientcooking.
Temperature limiters are included in each element to ensure that the safe operating
temperature of the ceramic glass top is not exceeded. The temperature limiter will cycle the
radiant element off to prevent exceeding the maximum surface temperature.
Knobs & Indicator Lights
Thecookingareacontrolsarecalled“innite”controls.Thistypeofcontrolhasaninnite
selection of heat settings. The control settings begin at high and decrease heat output by
cycling the heating elements between “off” and “on” as you turn the knob clockwise.
The heating elements will stay “off” for longer periods and “on” for shorter periods as you
turn the knob clockwise, thus reducing the heat output.
