Ceramic Glass
_ L J_ __
L.OOKI;Op (some models)
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop
outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make surethe diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the surface unit. Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. Thetype and
sizeof the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areassurrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used asa cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
Panswith rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking
utensils) isnot recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never usethe
griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.
Types of heating units used
Depending on model, three types of heating units may be found under the ceramic glass cooktop:
- Regular (single coil) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes.
- Expandable type (double circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.
- Bridge Expandable type (triple circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.

Regular radiant elements (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at
OFFposition, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates
the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot
surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

Expandable radiant elements (some models)
This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit.
Its principal advantage isto allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit,
therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility.
Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that hasa dual set of graduations; for
small utensils usethe small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. Forlarger utensils
use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.
The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit isturned ON.
