Tones Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: One tone ■ Valid pad press ■ Slider is moved to "0" power level ■ Slider is moved to "Boost" power level Two tones ■ Invalid pad press Three tones ■ End of Timer cycle Ceramic Glass Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care" section for additional information. IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils. ■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed. ■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks. ■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop. ■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board. ■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable. A B C A. ½" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang B. Outer edge of cooktop C. Minimum pan size, if applicable ■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. ■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. 1 2 3 1 4 5 6 2 7 8 3 9 1 0 1 1 4 1 2 1 3 5 1 4 1 5 6 1 6 1 7 1 8 7 1 9 2 0 ■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them.
