Safety Instructions Operating Instructions For models with a glass cooktop. WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop on medium or high settings. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death. NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. 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 control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof. About the radiant surface units The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop. An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on. The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F. NOTE: Hot surface indicator light will: s Stay on even after the unit is turned off. s Glow brightly until the unit has cooled below 150°F. 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 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. It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool. Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely. s Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar. s Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration. s Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage. s Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
