USING YOUR COOKTOP
ELEMENT STYLES

- Dual Element – This element has two circles. The dual element offers flexibility for the size of cookware. Be sure to place the correct size cookware for either the inner circle or outer circle. To turn on, rotate the knob to the left for the inner circle, or to the right for the outer circle.

KNOB LIGHTS
Each control knob features a backlight that indicates whether a cooktop
surface element is ON or HOT.
The red backlight will glow when the
element is still hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the
element is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.
REMEMBER
Be careful! Surface elements may be hot even though they appear cool.
QUICK CARE
Cleaning the cooktop
Protect your cooktop by quickly cleaning up spills when they happen. Before
cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is
cool. Use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic
glass cooktops. You can also use a soft cloth, mild dish detergent and water
or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Refer to your Use & Care Manual for
more care and cleaning recommendations.
Cleaning the knobs
Remove knobs from the cooktop before cleaning. Using a soft cloth, clean knobs
with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
Refer to your Use & Care Manual for special instructions on how to remove and
reinstall the knobs on the cooktop.

FAQs
Why does the element come on and then go off?
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises,
the element will glow red. To keep at the selected temperature, the element
will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a
uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
Why are there streaks or metallic marks on my cooktop?
Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface can cause streaks or
metallic marks to form. To avoid this, do not slide metal utensils on the
cooktop surface. Remove marks by applying a cooktop cleaning creme and buffing
with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
How do I clean the knobs?
First, be sure to remove the knobs from your cooktop before cleaning. Do not
place knobs in the dishwasher or soak them. Instead, clean the knobs with a
soft cloth and mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 vinegar and water
solution.
