Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently,
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 items could melt or ignite, Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements,

Element ON & Hot Surface indicator Lights
Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface
control indicator lights that will glow on your range--the Element ON
indicator lights and the Hot Surface indicator light (Refer to Fig. 2).
The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above
each radiant element control knob and will glow when a radiant element is
turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy
check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface
cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has
cooled to a MODERATE level.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant element to
cycle ON & OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to
the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur
more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
To Operate a Single Radiant Element (See Figs. 1, 2, 3 &
4; some models):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.
2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to
the desired setting (Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface
Element Settings Table and Fig. 2 above). Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be
set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing
red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of
the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the
surface heating area.
3. When cooking is complete turn the surface element OFF
before removing the cookware.
