Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Scratches on the Glass Surface**
This can be caused by incorrect cleaning methods or by using cookware with rough bottoms. Coarse particles like salt or sand between cookware and the cooktop can also result in scratches -
**Areas of Discoloration**
Often occurs when food spillovers are not cleaned promptly. On light-colored models, the surface may appear discolored when hot, which is temporary and resolves as the surface cools -
**Melted Plastic or Sugar Spills**
These can cause permanent damage. It's crucial to handle such spills immediately with care to prevent pitting on the cooktop surface -
**Improper Temperature Control or Slow Cooking**
This may be due to improper cookware size or settings on the cooktop controls. Ensuring that the control settings correspond to the correct element being used can resolve this -
**Cooktop Surface Elements Not Working**
This can occur if the cooktop controls are not properly set. Ensuring the right control is used for the specific element can help restore function

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Use Proper Cookware Size:** Match the size of your cookware to the burner size. Heat is more efficiently transferred to the pan when they are the same size, reducing energy loss.
- **Keep Cookware Covered:** Using lids while cooking traps heat, reducing cooking times and the amount of energy needed to cook food.
- **Utilize Residual Heat:** Turn the burners off a few minutes before the cooking is finished. The residual heat in the element will continue cooking the food.
- **Preheat Only When Necessary:** Avoid preheating the cooktop unless it is required by the recipe.
- **Keep the Cooktop and Cookware Clean and Flat:** Clean surfaces improve energy transfer. Flat-bottom pans ensure direct contact with the burner to maximize heat transfer.
- Keep flammable materials away from the cooktop including paper, plastic, pot holders, and curtains, as these can ignite if they come in contact with hot surfaces.
- Do not use water or a wet cloth to extinguish a grease fire. Turn off the cooktop and cover the flames with a lid.
- Never leave children unattended near the cooktop, and ensure they do not climb or sit on it.
- Use cookware with flat bottoms that are large enough to cover the heating element to avoid exposure to direct heat which could result in burns or damage.
- If the glass cooktop is broken, do not use it. Cleaning solutions and food spillovers can penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
