Cooktop Operating Instructions
Before Using the Cooktop for the First
Time
• Remove all packing materials and literature from
the cooktop surface.
• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and
dry.
• Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme
the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth. (See Page 9
for daily care instructions.)
• There may be a slight odor during the first several
uses; this is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used. (See Page 7.)
• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain
hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have
been turned off.
• Read all safety precautions and Use and Care
Manual information prior to operating.
Precautions for Long Life and Good Ap-
pearance of the Surface
• Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning
Creme will protect the surface and make it easier to
remove food soil and water spots.
• The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if
a pan or other object is dropped on it.
• Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it
will melt and damage the glass surface.
• Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in
contact with the hot glass surface; these items can
melt or burn and damage the glass surface.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the
pan, element and/or the cooktop.
• Never cook food directly on the glass.
• Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other
metal stand on the glass surface.
• Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it
may scratch the glass.
• Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

General Operation of Cooktop

The cooktop uses touch pads and a magnetic dial to
operate the cooktop. When touching the glass of a
touch pad, such as an element or function pad, use the
flat part of the finger and touch the center of the pad. A
beep will sound when touching any of these pads.

magTron Dial

The cooktop uses a magTron magnetic dial to select the
desired heat setting. The magTron dial is held onto the
cooktop by a strong magnet and automatically positions
itself in the center of the dial location when placed on
the cooktop.
The dial can be set to beep as it turns or to be silent as it turns.
The default setting is silent.
To activate dial sound:
1. Turn on all cooking zones to level 3 (See Cooktop
Operation Instructions for details).
2. Turn each cooking zone off, one at a time, in the following
order:
packaged with
®
3. Press and hold the power key until it beeps
(about five seconds).
To turn knob sound off, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 above.
Panel Lock
If the knob is removed from the cooktop while the cooktop is
operating, the elements turn off. The cooktop cannot be used
again until the knob is returned. This is known as panel lock.
The panel lock can be set to activate immediately upon
removal of the knob or after a ten second delay. The default
setting is the ten second delay.
To turn the delay off :
1. Turn all cooking zones to level 5 (See Cooktop Operation
Instructions for details).
2. Turn each cooking zone off, one at a time, in the following
order:
3. Press and hold the power key until it beeps (about five
seconds).
To activate the delay, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 above.
Element 'ON' Indicator Light
The area above the element touch pad being used will show
the cook setting when the element is on. When the element is
turned off, the hot surface indicator comes on in this area. (See
Hot Surface Indicator Light below).
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the
cooking surface is too hot to touch. A letter H will appear
above the element touch pad. The light remains on until the
cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.
If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the
element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be
used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time.
