The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear
discolored when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see "Cleaning" section.
• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
• Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum
foil, to touch a hot cooktop.
• Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface
indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface
pitting can occur.
• Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot
be removed completely.
• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
• 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 1 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Lift pots and pans on and off the cooktop. Sliding pots, pans
and skillets that have aluminum or copper bases could leave
permanent scratches and marks on the cooktop.
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.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the surrounding areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for ordering
instructions.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies who manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
