COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls

Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level. It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color. Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see �General Cleaning� section. � Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
�

WARNING

Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
� �

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. Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If spills or soils are not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur. 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. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely. Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire 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 in. (2.5 cm) outside the area.

The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. The surface cooking area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. SETTING HI RECOMMENDED USE

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 rotating 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. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
