Hot surface indicator
• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
• Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
• Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.
Cooking areas
• The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking
surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
• Pans should not extend more than ½” to 1” beyond the cooking area.
• When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooking surface. The
element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
• For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the section “Using the
proper cookware” on page 17.
HOW TO SET THE APPLIANCE FOR SURFACE COOKING
• The surface elements may be hot and burns may occur. Do not touch surface
elements until they have cooled down sufficiently.
• At high or medium-high settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
• Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
• The area between the high and off settings, are not appropriate for cooking.
