WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
Ceramic Glass (on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle
off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop
from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your
ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Maintenance and
Care” section in the Owner’s Manual for additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
� Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
� For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
� To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
� Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
� Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
� Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
� Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
� Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
� Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on
the cooktop.
