Cooking Safely with
Surface Elements

!
To avoid risk of serious personal
injury, property damage, or fire,
do not leave surface elements
unattended while in operation.
Grease and spillovers can ignite
causing a fire.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock or
serious personal injury,
• never cook on a broken
smoothtop cooking surface.
Spillovers can penetrate broken
surface and cause electric
shock.

After you cook...
...remember to establish a cleaning routine for your smoothtop. Cooktops can be
sensitive to certain cooking spillovers. Unlike conventional ranges, smoothtops
should not be cleaned with a wet dishcloth when wiping down other counters.
Daily care is quick, easy and can prevent damage. To purchase Amana

To avoid serious personal injury,
do not use a damp or wet cloth to
clean up spills on a hot or warm
cooktop. Moist or damp cloths on
hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam.
Indicator Lights
Surface elements are indicated by an indicator light that glows when the element is
turned on. The location and number of indicator lights vary with each model. After a
surface control is turned off, the surface indicator light will continue to glow until
each surface elements have cooled to approximately 145°F. The length of time the
light remains on will vary. If there is more than one surface element light, do not
expect the lights to shut off at the same time.
