IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
I Avoid scratching the glass cooktop.
The cooktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jewelry and rivets on clothing.
I Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleansers can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
I Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
I NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugar spills are the exception
to this. Please see the Cleaning the Glass
Cooktop section.
I Do not place or store items on top of the
glass cooktop surface when it is not in use.
I Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
I When the cooktop is cool, use only
CERAMA BRYTE® Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE®
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
I Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the cooktop and the pan.
I Do not allow water, other liquids or grease

to remain on the cooktop.
I To minimize the possibility of burns, always
be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the off position and the entire
glass surface is cool before attempting to
clean the cooktop.
I After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove all the cleaning cream
residue.
I Read and follow all instructions and
I Do not operate the glass surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning

warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
I Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned OFF.

Using the surface units.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
The UNIT ON indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is keeping the
power level you set.
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.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.
NOTE:
The controls for the radiant surface units
can be set anywhere between LO and HI
for an unlimited number of heat settings.
With the infinite switch the unit cycles
on and off to maintain your selected
control setting.
IIt comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.
IIt stays on even after the unit is turned off.
IIt glows brightly until the unit is cooled to
approximately 150°F.
The control must be pushed in to set
only from the OFF position. When the
control is in any position other than OFF,
it may be rotated without pushing it in.
About the radiant surface units…
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
SURFACE
COOKING
IWater stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
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.
IUse of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
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.
IDon’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
OFF CENTER
IDo not use the surface as a cutting board.
The surface unit 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.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
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.
DRAGGING
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass. The glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratchproof.
