ELECTRIC COOKTOP OPERATION
Page 9
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Element “ON” Signal Light
The element “ON” signal light glows whenever any
element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of the
elements are turned off.
The “ON” light is located on the right side and below
the control knobs.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHTS
Whenever a cooking surface is too hot to touch, an
indicator light will turn on automatically in the area
marked Hot Surface. The light remains on until the
cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch tempera-
ture. There is one Hot Surface Indicator light for each
electric heating element.
If a Hot Surface Indicator light is on, use caution when
working or cleaning around the cooktop.
CONTROL KNOBS
The placement of each knob corresponds to the place-
ment of the heating element that it controls. To turn
on any element, PUSH DOWN on the knob and TURN
in either direction to the desired heat setting.
There are an infinite number of heat settings
between the LO and HI positions. Detents (fixed
positions) are found at LO and HI to define minimum
and maximum heat settings. The LO setting provides a
very low heat for simmering foods such as spaghetti
sauce and cooking Hollandaise sauce. With the option
of using either gas and electric, you can move a pan from
gas to electric (LO) for an even lower heat setting.
RETAINED HEAT
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot
after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained
heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures
for a short time.
"ON" Indicator
Light
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When the elements are turned on, a red glow can be
seen through the glass. The elements cycle on and off
to keep the selected heat setting. Poor cookware
causes the element to cycle on and off more often. (See
Temperature Limiters on Page 8).
To turn ON the small, inner element only, press
down on the control knob and turn it
clockwise to a
heat setting.
To turn ON both inner and outer elements
together, press down on the control knob and turn it
counterclockwise to a heat setting.
The element is in the off position when the indicator on
the knob lines up with the word “OFF” and snaps into
place. Align the indicator with the LO position. The dual
element symbol
●
and the inner element symbol ● are
not heat settings.
