TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS
COOKTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
(see pages 29~30 for more information)
Before first use, clean the cooktop.
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, remove spill with a
proper metal scraper.
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the
cooktop trim for a long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers
not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Marks and Scratches
Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or scratch the top.
Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly."
(See Cleaning pages 29~30.)
Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean and dry
before turning on to prevent scratches.
To prevent scratching or damaging to the glass-ceramic top,
do not leave sugar, salt, or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before
using.
Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these
may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the
cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains
on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a
permanent stain.
To Prevent Other Damages
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content
to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning pages 29~30.)
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.
Do not use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
Do not cook food directly on the surface.
GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE
Glass Cooktop Surface Notes:
Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
Glass cooktops retain heat for a period of time after
the elements are turned off. Turn the elements off a few
minutes before food is completely cooked and use the
retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface
light turns off, the cooking area will cool down enough to
touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the cooktop
elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as
coil elements.
cooking surface.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.
This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the
glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
