Setting Surface Controls
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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only fiat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type 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 areas beyond
the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements
may become ha| enough fo 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 wifl cycle on and off. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle. For energy emcient
cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking
is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and
Controls
Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface burners with
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage
increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the 30"'
cooktop as follows (See Figure 1):
*One small 6 inch radiant element located at the left rear
position;
*One dual 6or 12 inch radiant element located at the Jeff
front position;
o One 7 Inch radiant element located at the right rear
position;
*And one Turbo Boll 9 inch radiant element located at the
right front position.
The radiant surface elements are located on the 36" cooktop
as follows (See Figure 2):
•One small 6inch radiant element located at the left rear
position;
•One dual 6or 12 inch radiant element located at the left
front position;
•One 7inch radiant element located at the right rear
position;
• One small 6 inch radiant element located at the center
rear position;
• And one Turbo Boll 9 inch radiant element located at the
right front position.

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.
This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will mostly occur
if the cool<ware is too small for the radiant element
or if the cool<ware bottom is not fiat (For information
concerning cookware, refer to use proper cookware on
page 5of this Use and Care Guide)
NOTE: (White glass cooktops only). Due to the high intensity
of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface will turn green when the element is turned off. This
is a normal occurrence, and the glass will come back to its
original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Setting Surface Controls

Operating the Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has 3 or 4 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the RIGHT &
LEFT REAR, CENTER REAR (36" model only) and RIGHT FRONT positions
(Figures I and 2).
To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the
desired setting (Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a
constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge
of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the
surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Hot
Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob
is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level that will not cause burns
if the area is touched. The light may remain on even though
the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See above Table for recommended control settings.
_ Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator
light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still
be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before
the indicator light has turned off.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop
when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

See Ceramic Glass Caaktap Cleaning & Maintenance in this Use & Care Guide.

General Care & Cleaning
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
cleaning is essential t0 malntalning your Ceramic glass c0okt0p
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on
the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff: with a non-abraslve cloth or no-
scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately
after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface. Do not sllde anything metal or glass across the
cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not
drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to
crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abraslve plastic
type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abraslve
plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose. If soils remain, carefully scrape them with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a
few drops of cleaning cream and buff: surface clean.
iMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage
(such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immedlately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a
razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop
to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:
oDo not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They
may scratch the cooktop, making it more difflcult to clean.
Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they
may etch or discolor the cooktop.
Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soll or llnt on the
cooktop which can burn and cause dlscoloratlon.
Special Caution for Aluminum Fall and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
oAlumlnum folk Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances. @
Aluminum utensils: Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.
