GEAppliances.com The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops. For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. 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 cooktop, 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. It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface even when the cooktop 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. Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because LWFDQVFUDWFKWKHJODVV³WKHJODVVLVVFUDWFKUHVLVWDQW not scratchproof. Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or fullstrength white vinegar. Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film. 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. Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter. The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot. The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off for a time if: the pan boils dry. the pan bottom is not flat. the pan is off-center. there is no pan on the unit. 9
