The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the

surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area

of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan

matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1

& 2).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware.

Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware,

the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that

POWEROn/Off

will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface

elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough

to cause burns.

ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE

ELEMENTS

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will

glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating

element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the OFF cycle. For

efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will

allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI

setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting

is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the

cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 18 for using correct cookware instructions with the

cooktop).

Cleaning section and Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care Guide.
