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 glass³the 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.
