illustration but your cooktop will operate as described in
this manual.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it
thoroughly as directed on the cleaning chart on page 24.
This will protect the smoothtop and will guarantee a clean
cooktop when the elements are turned on.
During the first few hours of use, you may notice that the
cooktop emits a slight burning odor and a light smoke.
Both of these conditions are normal.
When a cooking area is turned on, the coil element under
the cooktop will heat up and glow red. To maintain the
heat setting the element will cycle on and off. It is normal
to see a red glow through the smoothtop when the
element cycles on.
Your range is equipped with a HOT SURFACE light
located at the center-back of the smoothtop. This red light
will turn on to indicate that the smoothtop is hot and will
remain on until the top has cooled.

The smoothtop cooking area retains heat for a period of
time after the element has been turned off. Turn the
element off a few minutes before food is completely
cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking
operation. After 30 minutes, the cooktop may be too cool
to keep foods warm. However, the top may still be too
warm to touch. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off,
the top will be cool enough to touch.
When cooking delicate foods which easily scorch or
overcook, start with a lower heat setting then gradually
increase until you find the optimum setting. Boilovers are
more likely to occur if you start out on HIGH then reduce
to the lower setting, tf you do begin cooking on HIGH,
reduce to a lower setting before liquids come to a full boil.
If food is cooking too fast or if a boilover occurs, remove
lid or remove cookware from cooking area and reduce to
a lower setting. Allow enough time for the cooking area to
adjust to the new setting.

Aluminum lob will damage the smoothtop if it melts onto
the glass. Do not use foil-type disposable containers such
as popcorn poppers. They may leave metal marks or may
permanently melt onto the smoothtop. Do not use cooktop
if metal or aluminum foil melts onto the smoothtop. Call an
authorized servicer.
Aluminum cookware will cause metal marks on the glass
if you slide them across the smoothop. Remove any metal
marks immediately using Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Glass ceramic, earthenware, porcelain over metal,
heat-proof glass or glazed cookware may scratch the
smoothtopcooktop ifyou slide them across the top.
Do not use the top as a work surface or as a cutting
board. Do not cook food directly on the cooktop.
Do not use a trivet or metal stand (such as a wok ring)
between the utensil and the cooktop. These items can
mark or etch the surface and affect cooking efficiency.
Do not place plastics on a warm or hot cooking area.
They will melt and adhere to the smoothtop. The
smoothtop may chip or pit in attempting to remove
melted plastic from the top.
To prevent scratching or damage to the smoothtop, do
not leave sugar, salt, sand, soil, shortening or other fats
on the cooking area. Be sure area is free from these
before turning on cooking area.
Be sure the bottom of the cookware is smooth and free
of nicks, scratches or rough areas as they may scratch
the smoothtop.
Do not allow a pan to boil dry. This could cause
permanent damage to the smoothtop.
