NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. Thishelps
to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling attile
HIsetting isnormal and canoccur if the cookware istoo small
for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom isnot flat
(Refer to page 6 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the
surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when
the element will beturned off. This phenomenon isnormal
and the glasswill come back to its original white color after
it hascompletely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath.

element outline on the cooktop (SeeFigure 1).
Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the
cookware. Onlyflabbottom cookware should be used. Thetype
and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use
and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areasbeyond the surface elements. The
areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to
cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the
selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heatto provide auniform and consistent
heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking iscomplete. Thiswill
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and
Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and
in larger volumes increasesas the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows:
Model A (See Figures 1 and 2):
- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;
- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position
(See page 12);
- Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and
rear positions.
- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant
element. The BRIDGEradiant element iscontrolled using the
sameknobthat controls the left front radiant element position.
(See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using
BRIDGEradiant element)
Mode/B (see Figure 1):
- Two 6 inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear position;
- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position
(See page 12);
- A 8 inch radiant element located at the left front position.
Mode_ C(see Figure I):
- Two 6 inch radiant elements one atthe right rear position and
the other at the left front position;
- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;
- A 8 inch radiant element located at the left rear position.
