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.

The surface elements may be hot and burns may occur. Do not touch the 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.
