IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, or ANY
material that can melt to make contact with the
ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on
the cooktop they can damage the ceramic
cooktop.
NOTE
Any heating zone may be set again and used for
cooking even if the HE message is displayed.
Fig. 1
Hot Element (HE) Message
After heating using any of the cooktop elements,
the cooktop will become very hot. Even with all
the controls off, the cooktop will remain hot for
some time afterwards.
The controls monitor the
temperature of the cooktop
surface. If the message "HE" (hot
element) shows in the cooktop
display window, then the cooktop
is too hot to touch (Figure 1).

Start most cooking operations at a higher heat
setting and then turn to a lower setting to
finish cooking.
For efficient cooking, turn the surface element
OFF several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware
indicates the cookware is too small for the
surface heating area.
Radiant elements have a limiter that will make
the element cycle ON and OFF, even at the
high setting. This helps prevent damage to the
ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the high setting
is normal and will occur more frequently if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element
or if the cookware bottom is warped.
