[. . . ] Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at OFF position, then turned to the desired heat settings. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Control Knob For Expandable and Bridge Elements The surface control knobs shown below may not look identical to the surface control knobs on your appliance; it is only representational. OFF I I H Expandable radiant elements (some models) This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit. Its principal advantage is to allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit, therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility. Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. For larger utensils use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON. Bridge Radiant elements (some models) Its principal advantage is to allow you to create larger cooking zone for larger pan such as roaster, griddle or some other specialty pans. For the bridge element operation, use the larger graduations on the control knob. To operate only the front element, use the small graduations on the control knob. 5678 H 8 7 6 5 4 4 3 3 2 Hot Surface Indicator Light (some models) Some models have an indicator light located on the ceramic glass cooktop that glows as soon as the glass begins to warm up. AVOID using bleach and don't use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked or etched by such items. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop. c) Allow the cooktop to cool. Use and Care of Glass Surface Problem Fine "brown lines" (tiny scratches or abrasions which have collected soil) Cause Coarse particles (salt, sand, sugar or grit) between bottom of cookware and cooktop that are not removed before cooking. Cleaning with a sponge or dishcloth that has been used for other kitchen tasks. Use a small amount of cleaner cream with clean, damp paper towel. Metal marking (mark or black marks). Brown streaks and specks. NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. 9 Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued) Use and Care of Glass Surface (continued) Cleaning Materials for Ceramic Glass Cooktop Some cleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. [. . . ] Wipe remaining paste away, then apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning creme and polish with a clean paper towel. Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion. Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface. Position element properly, following instructions under General Cleaning. [. . . ]
