Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identi-
fied by permanent patterns on the glass-
ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
1-inch beyond the cooking area.
For more information on cookware, refer to
"Cooking Made Simple" booklet.
Hot Surface Light
A HOT SURFACE indicator light located
front, center of the cooktop will come on
when any cooking area is in
use and will continue
to glow until the

Cookware
To achieve optimum cooking performance,
use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans
that conform to the diameter of the cooking
area. ( See "Cooking Made Simple" for cook-
ware characteristics and recommendations.)
NOTES:
Cooktop may emit light smoke and
odor the first few times the cooktop
is used. This is normal.
When a control is turned on, a red
glow can be seen through the glass-
ceramic surface. The element will
cycle on and off to maintain the
preset heat setting.

Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat

turned off. Turn the elements off a

Tips to Protect the
Glass-Ceramic Surface
Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 14.)
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the
surface.
Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean imme-
diately. (See Cleaning, page 14.)
Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage
the surface and pan.
Never use cooktop as a work surface or
cutting board. Never cook food directly on
the surface.
Never place a trivet or wok ring between
the surface and pan. These items can mark
or etch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot
surface. The pans may leave marks which
need to be removed promptly. (See Clean-
ing, page 14.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom
are clean before turning on to prevent
scratches.
To prevent scratching or damage, do not
leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area.
Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth
or paper towel before using.
Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to
clean the cooktop surface. A film will re-
main which may cause stains on the cook-
ing surface after the area is heated.
heat to complete the cooking.
When the HOT SURFACE light
turns off (see below), the cooking
area will be cool enough to touch.
Because of the heat retention char-
acteristics, the elements will not
respond to changes in settings as
quickly as coil elements. In the
event of a potential boilover, re-
move the pan from the cooking
area.
NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop.
Do not use a small pan on a large ele-
ment. Not only does this waste energy,
but it can also result in spillovers burn-
ing onto the cooking area which requires
extra cleaning.
Do not use non-flat specialty items that
are oversized or uneven such as round
bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or
oversized canners and griddles.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the
surface since these may scratch.
Do not use foil or foil-type containers.
Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal
melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an
authorized servicer.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, im-
mediately clean the spill from the cook-
ing area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care,
wipe spill with a clean dry towel.
Do not allow spills to remain on the
cooking area or the cooktop trim for a
long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders
or scouring pads which will scratch the
cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or
other cleansers not specifically recom-
mended for use on glass-ceramic.
To retain the appearance of the glass-
ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.
