COOKTOPUSE
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
HOT Surface Indicator Lights
• Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)
• Four HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT
surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm
to touch.
Simmer Element
(on some models)
The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the
element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for
preparation of foods that require very low heat like sauces,
chocolate or cheese.
Power On Lights
The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which
surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when
its corresponding surface element is turned on.
Control Knob Settings
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and "0"
(OFF). On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the
principle of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to
setting 5, the element will be on 50% of the time. Radiant heat
elements heat-up quickly. You will notice, and perhaps even hear,
the element switching on and off. Use the following chart as a
guide when setting heat levels.
