of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of ctothing_ Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
° Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Unlts--To reduce the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not ex_end over adjacent surface units.

Surface Cooking Ceramic-Glass Cool<top
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the
surface of the glass. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of
the surface unit betow_ Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the
pan matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred up through the
surface of the cooktop to the cooking utensil. Only flat-bottomed pans
should be used, The type and size of the cookware, number of surface units
in use and the settings of the units are factors that will' affect the amount
of heat that wilt spread to areas surrounding the surface units; The areas
surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
Thdcao_{_p should not be used as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cool<top may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to
glass or difficulty in cleaning will result
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit is a group of heating coils enclosed in a ceramic
fixture below the glass coo_op. The unit temperature rises gradually and t'rl
evenly,, As the temperature rises, the unit will glow red To maintain the .....
selected setting, the unit wi_i cycle on and off, The heating unit retain]
enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating unit, concentrating heat
in the heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the unit several minutes Z
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the
Cooking process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and
quality of cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the
selected heat setting
Dual Radiant _<urface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant su_ace unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within
the same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for
operating the different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower
wattage and can be used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller
pans The larger unit or both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage
and can be used to prepare larger quantifies of food in larger pans When
using the outer coil, both inner and outer colts operate.
indicator Light(s) There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range--a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator',
The surface indicator, located on the control panel, glows when any
surface unit is turned on A quick glance at the light after cooking is an
easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located unde_ the glass cool(top or' on
the control panel, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and
will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a
moderate level.

"Fo Operate Radiant Surface Units
Push in and turn the Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the
desired setting. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn
to a lower setting to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond
the bottom edge of the Cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for
the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on

glasstop. Cycling at the J_:tse_tirJg is:nDrmal and can occur if the pan is too
small for' the ele_'n-T_ntoYi__t_e' par_ bottom is not flat:
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL Surface Units will
turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if
the units are touched at this time.
Do not peace plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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 unit.
