Manual

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

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. The burner will cycle on

and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly

cycle off and back on again even while in 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 Care” section 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 entire 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 ½" (13 mm)

outside the area.

■ 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.

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

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel.

When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the

Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located

on the console panel.

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking

area is turned off.

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)

The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the

size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a

regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer

element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

Rapid Boil Element (on some models)

The Rapid Boil Element offers additional cooking flexibility. The

Rapid Boil element can be used to boil liquids faster. The lowest

melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or saute

foods and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware

appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil Element.

Can I connect a range to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a range, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the range is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.
