Smoothtop Surface Notes:

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few

times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time

after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off

a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use

the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot

surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool

enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the

smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in

settings as quickly as coil elements.

• In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from

the cooking surface.

• Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

• The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is

hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface

cools.

Smoothtop Surface

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent

circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,

fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than

to 1-inch beyond

the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the

smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to

maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

For more information on cookware, refer to Cookware

Recommendations on page 6.

Hot Surface Light

The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the

control panel. The light will be illuminated

when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on,

even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.

FlexChoice Element (select models)

The FlexChoice element is a fully

functioning element that provides

an ultra low (Warm) heat setting

for holding delicate sauces and

keeping cooked foods warm. It is

located in the right rear position

The Warm setting is located

between Low and OFF. Heat

settings outside of this area

function as a normal element,

with Low to High settings.

it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool to

the Warm heat setting.

varies by model.)

Tips to Protect the

Smoothtop Surface

Cleaning (see page 18 for more information)

• Before first use, clean the cooktop.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep

your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the

spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough

cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a

clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the

cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads

which will scratch the cooktop.

• Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not

specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

To Prevent Marks and Scratches

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and

pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans

may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See

Cleaning, page 18.)
