parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a 
short time. 
NOTE: On models with light colored glass cooktops, it is 
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot 
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as 
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your 
selected control setting.

Never cook directly on the glass. 
Always use cookware.
Always place the pan in the center 
of the surface unit you are cooking on.
Do not slide cookware across the 
cooktop because it can scratch the 
glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, 
not scratchproof.
Be sure you turn the control knob 
to OFF when you finish cooking.
