Features of Your Cooktop Radiant Cooktop Design information 2 (Not all features are on all models. Appearance may vary.
Using Your Cooktop Radiant Cooktop How to set the controls Push the knob down and turn in either direction to the setting you want. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be rotated without pushing it down. A HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when any radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface is cooled to approximately 150°F. At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position.
Using Your Cooktop Radiant Cooktop Radiant surface elements The radiant cooktop features heating elements beneath a smooth glass surface. NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time. NOTE: On models with a white glass cooktop, it is normal for the surface to appear discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.
Using the bridge surface element The surface element on the right side of your cooktop is designed to let you heat all parts of a large, oblong utensil that is too large to fit on one surface element. The Bridge Surface Element is made up of a front section, a middle section, and a rear section. You can heat all sections at once, or the front and rear sections separately.
Cookware Tips Radiant Cooktop Types of cookware The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance. Stoneware: usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Stainless Steel: recommended Use pans that match the diameter of the surface element. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface element. Aluminum: heavyweight recommended Good conductivity.
Home Canning Tips Radiant Cooktop Observe the following points in canning Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops. Right! Wrong! Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface element’s circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface elements.
Care and Cleaning Radiant Cooktop Control knobs The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure that the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning. The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing. Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
