To Use:

Hot Surface Indicator Lights (on Standard Control models)
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Lights will remain on after the power is restored to the
cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.
Power Light
Each cooktop has a Power On light. The light will glow when any
burner is on.
