FEATURE OVERVIEW

Ceramic_GlassCooktop
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop (Models: 790.45792/1/4/9)
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 coils below. Most
importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface area.
Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be
used. The type and size of cookware, number of surface units in useand the settings of the
surface units are factors that will affect the amount of the 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 not in utensils directly on the smoothtop surface is not recommended asdifficult
cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never usegriddle
or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic-glass cooktop.
NOTE: Due to the high Z
intensity of heat generated _[_
by the surface elements, /_J_
the glass surface willturn _
green when the element is
turned off. This phenom-
enon isnormal and the
glass will come back to its
original white color after it
has completely cooled
down. (White glass
cooktops only).
Types of Heating Units Used
REGULAR RADIANT HEATING UNITS (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 extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the
utensil istoo small for the unit.
The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Usethe marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow.
Note: A built-in protector will automatically turn off the radiant heating unit if the ceramic-glass
temperature exceedsthe set limit.
