The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass.
The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make
sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom
cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements
in use and the settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to
areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding
the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.

The element temperature
rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature
rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This
will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage ratings. The ability
to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

NOYE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the
HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic glass cooktop. Cycling at the Ht
setting is normal and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or
if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 18 for using correct cookware instructions
with the cook-top).
