NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and
Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.
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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 10 for
using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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 Fig 1).
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 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.
Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners
with 6 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat
food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the
element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the
cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6 inch
radiant element located at the right rear position; a
dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the
right front position; a Warmer Zone radiant element
at the center rear position (See page 11); and two 8
inch radiant elements located at both the left front
and rear positions. Located between left front and
rear elements is a Bridge radiant element.
The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using the
same knob that controls the left front radiant
element position. See pages 9 and 10 for more
information about using BRIDGE radiant element.
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated
by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn
green when the element will be turned off. This
phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back
to its original white color after it has completely
cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
