the left rear element into a single long
combined cooking zone.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• To avoid possible burns always use potholders or oven
mitts when handling cookware on the cooktop or
whenever moving cookware to and from the cooktop.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt
or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
• The bridge element size may be changed anytime the
element is ON.
• If all 3 bridge elements are set to be active together
and the left rear element is needed with a different
power level setting, change the bridge size to or
and then set the left rear power level
independently.
• 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.
NOTES
CAUTION
The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display
window after turning OFF an element that has been
heating long enough to become hot. This message will
remain displayed until the heating surface area or areas
have cooled sufficiently.
