ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP  
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 (See  
Figure).  
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 their  
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.  
Cooktop Appearance  
Cooktop radiant areas that heat  
ABOUT THE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS  
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.  
NOTE  
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 HI  
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 12 for using correct cookware instructions  
with the cooktop).  
Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care  
& Cleaning section and Solutions to Common Problems section of this Use and Care  
Guide.

LOCATIONS OF THE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENTS  
Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface burners with 4  
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in  
larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.  
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as  
follows(SeeFigure):  
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left  
rearpositions;  
- 2 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the right and  
left front positions;  
- 2 7 inch radiant elements located at both the center front  
and rear position;  
- one Bridge radiant element located between center front and  
rearelements.  
SURFACE COOKING SETTINGS  
Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The  
Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as  
stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting  
chocolate or butter.  
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking  
results.  
Recommended Settings for Surface Elements

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the  
desired setting (Figure 2). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if  
desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then  
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides  
a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface  
heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware  
indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.  
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF  
before removing the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light  
will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to  
glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The  
light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

OPERATING THE DUAL SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENTS  
The cooktop is equipped with dual radiant surface element located at the right & left front  
(See Figure 1 or 3) positions. Symbols on the knob are used to indicate which coil of the  
dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat  
(Figure 1). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You  
may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.  
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:  
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface  
element.  
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise  
(See Figure 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise  
(SeeFigure4) for larger cookware.  
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start  
most cooking operations on a higher setting and  
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each  
surface element provides a constant amount of heat  
at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area  
extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware  
indicates the cookware is too small for the surface  
heatingarea.

OPERATING THE BRIDGE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT  
The cooktop is equipped with a “Bridge” surface element located at the center front and  
middle positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or  
oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both  
portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a  
single element without the Bridge.  
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the Bridge element control knob. These  
symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element.  
The symbol indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (see  
Figues 1 and 2). The symbol indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the  
element will heat together (see Figures 3 and 4). You may switch from either of these  
settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.  
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:  
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.  
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (see Figure  
2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped  
cookware or clockwise (see Figure 4) for larger or rectangular  
shapedcookware.  
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most  
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower  
setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a  
constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface  
heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the  
cookware indicates the cookware is too small. Please note  
that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.  
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to  
OFFbeforeremovingthecookware. Note:TheSurface  
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on  
and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the  
center rear single element (see Figure 5). Because these element have 2 different controls,  
one element can be used to cook while the other element may be used to keep food warm.  
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHTS  
This model have indicator lights located on the ceramic glass cooktop that glows as soon as  
the glass begins to warm up. When heating units is turned off, it will continue to glow as long  
as the glass remains warm enough to cause burns.

COOKTOP CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop  
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended Cleaning Creme to the  
ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme is supplied with your appliance and it is  
available in store. Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled  
from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help  
prevent scratches and abrasions.  
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause  
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed  
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning  
cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future  
use.  
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can  
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or  
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or  
work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop  
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass  
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.  
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CERAMIC GLASS  
COOKTOP  
!
CAUTION  
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.  
!
WARNING  
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and  
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.  
For light to moderate soil:  
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop.  
Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the  
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel  
you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.  
For heavy, burned on soil:  
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain,  
carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper  
at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with  
cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.  
General Care & Cleaning

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CERAMIC GLASS  
COOKTOP (CONTINUED)  
!
CAUTION  
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use scrub pad.  
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:  
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop  
surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed  
immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal  
spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated on previous page).  
Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.  
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:  
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal  
and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making  
it more difficult to clean.  
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia  
or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.  
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can  
leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause  
discoloration.  
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils  
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum  
cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.  
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.  
Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil  
dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic  
glass surface,permanently damaging the cooktop surface.  
CARE AND CLEANING OF STAINLESS STEEL  
Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts.  
Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning section
