frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

■ Usetheproperpansize-selectcookwarehaving

flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

heating element. 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 cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

■ 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

range without extending over nearby surface units.

WARNING RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Onlycertaintypesofglass,glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable

for cooktop service; others may break because of

the sudden change in temperature.

■ Usecarewhentouchingthecooktop.Theglass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the

controls have been turned off.

■ Donotcookonabrokencooktop.Iftheglass

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

■ Avoidscratchingtheglasscooktop.Thecooktop

can be scratched with items such as knives,

sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and

rivets on clothing.

■ Donotplaceorstoreitemsthatcanmeltorcatch

fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being

used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they

may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after

it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.

■ Useaceramiccooktopcleanerandanon-scratch

cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the

cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out

before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot

surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the

cleaning cream label. NOTE: Sugary spills are an

exception. They should be scraped off while still hot

using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning

the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.

Radiant Glass Cooktop

Home Canning Tips

USING THE COOKTOP:RadiantGlassCooktop/HomeCanningTips

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: This cooktop has Rapid Response surface units.

The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool down

to the desired power level setting in the quickest time

possible. While the surface units are on, you may not

see them glow red during certain heat up or cool down

conditions.

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.

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when

canning.

Userecipesandproceduresfromreputablesources.These

are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr®

andtheDepartmentofAgricultureExtensionService.

Flat-bottomedcannersarerecommended.Useofwater

bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time

required to bring the water to a boil.

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cooktop

becauseitcanscratchtheglass—theglass

is scratch-resistant, not scratch proof.

Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Recommended

Stainless Steel

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:

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.

Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:

Recommended if bottom of pan is coated

Avoid/Not Recommended

Enamel (painted) on Steel:

Heating empty pans can cause

permanent damage to cooktop glass.

The enamel can melt and bond to the

ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

Poor performance. Will scratch the

surface.

Stoneware:

Poor performance. May scratch the

surface.

Cast Iron:

Notrecommended—unlessdesigned

specifically for glass cooktops

Poor conductivity and slow to absorb

heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by

using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved,

ridged or warped bottoms are

not recommended.

For Best Results

■ Placeonlydrypansonthesurfaceelements.Donot

place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.

Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.

■ Donotusewoksthathavesupportrings.Thistypeof

wok will not heat on glass surface elements.

■ Werecommendthatyouuseonlyaflat-bottomed

wok. They are available at your local retail store. The

bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as

the surface element to ensure proper contact.

■ Somespecialcookingproceduresrequirespecific

cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat

fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be

the correct size.

Donotplacewetpansontheglasscooktop.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your

cooktop. It will leave metal markings on the cooktop

surface.

These marks are removable using a ceramic cooktop

cleaner with a non-scratch cleaning pad for ceramic

cooktops.

2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper

are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black

discoloration on the cooktop.

This should be removed immediately before heating

again or the discoloration may be permanent.

NOTE: Carefully check the bottom of pans for roughness

that would scratch the cooktop.

3. Be careful not to place aluminum baking sheets or

aluminum frozen entrée containers on a hot cooktop

surface. It will leave shiny dots or markings on the

cooktop surface. These markings are permanent and

cannot be cleaned off.

Damage from Sugary Spills and Melted Plastic

Special care should be taken when removing hot substances to avoid permanent damage of the glass surface.

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.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper.

Donotuseadullornickedblade.

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt:

  a. Useasingle-edgerazorbladescrapertomove
