Simmer Select Surface Unit Control
After turning a Radiant
Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until ithas had
enough time to COOL. Surface Units
will turn dark in color after they have
been turned off and burns may occur if
the units are touched at this time.
Do not place plastic
items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when
it is in use. These itemscould melt or
ignite. Potholdere,towels or wooden
spoons couldcatch fire if placedtoo
close tothe unit.
When using the Simmer
Select feature the element will not glow
red when it is hot.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a
limiter that allows the element to cycle
on and off, even at the HI setting. This
helps to prevent damage to the
glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the pan is too
small for the element or ifthe pan
bottom is not flat.
