Radiant Glass Cooktop

Surface Elements

USING THE COOKTOP:5DGLDQW*ODVV&RRNWRS6XUIDFH(OHPHQWV

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

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 cooktops, it is

normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot

or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as

glass cools to room temperature.

The surface element will cycle on and off to maintain

your selected control setting.

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 elements are turned off, the

glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking.

To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface

elements when the food is cooked.

Avoid placing utensils that could become hot or plastics

that could melt on the surface element until it has cooled

completely.

At Off, Hi, Lo and Simmer,

the control clicks into position.

You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking,

indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

The controls for the radiant surface elements can be set

anywhere between Lo or Simmer and Hi for an unlimited

number of heat settings. With the infinite switch, the

element cycles on and off to maintain your selected

control setting.

The On indicator light will glow when any surface

element is on.

A Hot Surface indicator light will glow when any radiant

element is turned on and will remain on until the surface

is cooled to approximately 150°F.

Surface Elements Cycle On and Off

Surface elements will cycle on and off to maintain the

All radiant surface elements have a temperature limiter

that protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the elements off while

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.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues

sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop but can be removed if cleaned

point, thin weight aluminum should not

be used.

Copper:

recommended

Copper Bottom:

usable, but not recommended

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.

Porcelain Enamel-Covered

Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered

completely with porcelain enamel, this

cookware is recommended. Caution is

recommended for cast-iron cookware

that is not completely covered with

smooth porcelain enamel, since it may

scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

However, when canning with water-bath or pressure

canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures

are available from the manufacturer of your canner;

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates

large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or

heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take

longer than expected, even though directions have been

carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and

(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of

large quantities of water.

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around

the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to

200°F) generated by the cooktop.

• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted

with natural light during the day.

• Always disconnect the electrical service to the

cooktop before repairing or servicing the cooktop.

This can be done by disconnecting the fuse or

circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a

dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your main

disconnect switch is located. If you do not know,

have your electrician show you.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper

voltage and frequency, and connected to an

individual, properly grounded branch circuit,

protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse

as noted on name plate.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and

hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified

electrician. After installation, have the electrician

show you where your main cooktop disconnect is

located.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE COOKTOP

1

Installing the Junction Box

Install an approved junction box where it will be

easily reached through the front of the cabinet

where the cooktop will be located. The cooktop

conduit is 4' long.

IMPORTANT:

The junction box must be located

where it will allow considerable slack in the

conduit for serviceability.

3

Attach Foam Tape

Apply the foam tape around the outer edge of

Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION—ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A

When making the wire connections, use the

entire length of conduit provided. The conduit

must not be shortened.

B

With the cooktop in place, open the front of the

cabinet door.

C

Insert the wires from the conduit through the

opening of the junction box.

D

Connect the red and black leads from the

cooktop conduit to the corresponding leads

in the junction box.

E

Once the connections are made, secure wires

together using wire nuts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected

to the cooktop frame. Effective January 1, 1996,

the National Electrical Code will not permit

grounding through neutral. If used in new

construction after January 1, 1996 or in a mobile

home, recreational vehicle or if local codes do

not permit grounding through the neutral white

lead, attach the appliance grounding lead (green

or copper) to the residence grounding conductor

(green or bare copper) in accordance with local

codes. When connecting to a 3 conductor branch

circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare

ground connector lead of the cooktop to the

branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color).

IMPORTANT: If the cooktop is being installed

into a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening

below), wire connections must be made before

putting the cooktop into the cutout opening.

CHECKLISTS

1

PRE-TEST CHECKLIST

A

Remove all protective film, if present, and any

stickers.

B

Check to be sure that all wiring is secure and not

pinched or in contact with moving parts.

C

Check level of appliance.

D

Check that the cooktop is properly grounded.

2

OPERATION CHECKLIST

A

Remove all items from the top of the cooktop

surface.

B

Turn on the power to the cooktop. Verify that all

surface burners operate properly.

C

Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped nor

the house fuse blown.

D

Check that conduit is securely connected to the

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:

The power leads supplied with this appliance

are UL recognized for connections to larger

gauge household wiring. The insulation of these

leads is rated at temperatures much higher than

the temperature rating of household wiring.

The current carrying capacity of a conductor

is governed by the wire gauge and also the

temperature rating of the insulation around the

wire.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING

WARNING

• IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM

HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS

CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

• Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring

using special connectors designed and UL

approved for joining copper to aluminum

and follow the manufacturer’s recommended

connector procedure closely.

NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of

splices, etc., must conform to good wiring

practice and local codes.
