materials accumulate on the cooktop.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother
a flaming pan on surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
• Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the cooktop.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface
unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
•
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE A COOKTOP—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP
TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
• NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the
Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

temperature.
surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all the cleaning cream residue.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
handle of a container should be turned toward
the center of the cooktop without extending
over nearby surface units.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
• Do not operate the glass surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance away from
your cooktop.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance away
from your cooktop.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food on the cooktop when not in use.
• Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units or areas
near surface units; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry
and rivets on clothing.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

• Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F.
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not allow water, other liquids or grease to
remain on the cooktop.
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit’s heating area. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• To minimize the possibility of burns, always
be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the off position and the entire
glass surface is cool before attempting to
clean the cooktop.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
cooktop. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Do not place or store items on top of the
glass cooktop surface when it is not in use.
• Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container burst
and cause injury.
• Teach children not to play with controls or
any other part of the cooktop.
• Always turn the surface units off before
removing the cookware.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your cooktop.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heats.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
• When preparing flaming foods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

when any radiant element is turned on, and
will remain on until the surface is cooled to
approximately 150°F.
How to set
the controls
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into
position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds
during cooking, indicating the control is
keeping the power level you set.
NOTE:
• It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.
• It stays on even after the unit is turned off.
The controls for the radiant surface units can
be set anywhere between LO and HI for an
unlimited number of heat settings. With the

SURFACE
COOKING
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.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface on the glass cooktop when the
surface is cool.
Always place the pan in the center of the
surface unit you are cooking on.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely.
DRAGGING
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this
discoloration.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass.
The glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
• Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they
drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Cookware Tips
Radiant Cooktop
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Types of
cookware
Stainless Steel: recommended
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good
if the cookware is either smaller or larger than
the surface unit.
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop,
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom: recommended
Good performance, but copper may leave
residues which can appear as scratches.
The residues can be removed, as long as the
cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped
bottoms are not recommended.
Good conductivity. As long as the cookware
is covered completely with porcelain enamel,
this cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware that is
not completely covered with smooth porcelain
enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic
cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
• Place only dry pans on the surface units.
Do not place lids on the surface units,
particularly wet lids.
should have the same diameter as the surface
unit to insure proper contact.
For best
results
• Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure cookers,
deep fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have
flat bottoms and be the correct size.
• Do not use woks that have support rings. This
type of wok will not heat on glass surface units.
• We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok
Do not place wet pans on the
glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support rings
on the glass cooktop.

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
unit’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 units.
4. Remember that canning is a process that
generates large amounts of steam. To avoid
burns from steam or heat, be careful when
canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions have
been carefully followed. The process time will be
shortened by:
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce
mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at
temperatures much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm the
glass cooktop surfaces.
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
• Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that the
jars are sealed completely. When canning
foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but
steady boil must be maintained for the
required time. When canning foods in a
pressure canner, the pressure must be
maintained for the required time.
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your cooktop or its location
does not allow the canner to be centered on
the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots
for good canning results. Do not allow the
canner to overlap the countertop.
• After you have adjusted the controls, it is
very important to make sure the prescribed
boil or pressure levels are maintained for the
required time.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not
use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms
(often found in enamelware) because they
don’t make enough contact with the surface
units and take a long time to boil water.
• Since you must make sure to process the
canning jars for the prescribed time, with
no interruption in processing time, do not can
on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is
not flat.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures
from reputable sources. Reliable recipes
and procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers
of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature
limiter.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units
off for a time if:

Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Radiant Cooktop
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream
before you use the cooktop for the first time.
Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This
helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
• Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after
each use.
Daily
cleaning
• Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning cream
onto soiled area using a damp paper towel. Buff with a
dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed.
Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such

Our testing shows that if you are cooking high
sugar mixtures such as jelly or fudge and have
a spillover, permanent damage to the cooktop
surface may occur unless the spillover is
immediately removed.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper
towel to remove any excess. Any spillover
remaining should be left until the surface of
the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to
use the soiled surface unit until all of the
spillover has been removed. Follow the steps
under Heavy Burned-On Soil to continue the
cleaning process.
Special care
for sugary
spills
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use
a dull or nicked blade.
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of
the surface of your cooktop (not covered by
the warranty) unless the spill is removed while
still hot. Special care should be taken when
removing hot substances.
NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum,
copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay
may bond with the glass cooktop and leave a black
discoloration. This should be removed immediately
before heating again or the discoloration may be
permanent.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the
spillover. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper
at a 45° angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot
spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.
