cook foods directly on the cooktop.
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface
cooking area may not glow red when an element is on; this is normal. The burner will cycle on
and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again,
even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures. It is normal for the
surface of the light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking
areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and
provide the evenest heating. On cooktops with light-colored ceramic glass, soils and stains
may be more visible and may require more cleaning and attention. A cooktop cleaner and a
cooktop scraper are recommended. For more information, see "Care & Maintenance", Page
12.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the
cooktop could crack the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop
cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass
could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as
possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts,
remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are
allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and
permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum
or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave
scratches or marks on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could
leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic
or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly 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. Determine flatness by placing
the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no
space or light should be visible between it
and the cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented
bottoms or small expansion channels can be
used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are
clean and dry before using them. Residue and
water can leave deposits when heated.
