Hot Surface Indicator Light
This unit features a Hot Surface indicator light. The Hot Surface
indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too
hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot
Surface indicator light will remain on after the power is restored
to the cooktop. It will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
Each cooktop has a Cooktop On indicator light. When the control
knob is on, the light will glow.
Dual Element
The dual-size element offers flexibility depending on the size
of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines the single and outer
element and is recommended for larger cookware, large quantities
of food, and home canning.
For best High heat performance, match burner to cookware size.
For best Low heat or Simmer performance, match cookware
to largest cooking area ring and use single ring for desired
performance.
Dual Element
To Use Single:
1. Push in and turn knob from OFF to the Single zone anywhere
between L and H.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
To Use Dual:
1. Push in and turn knob from OFF position to the Dual zone
anywhere between L and H.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Melt
The Melt function is available on all the surface cooking elements
and is ideal for melting chocolate or butter.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn knob to MELT.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is On,
except when Melt or Warming Zone (on some models) are used.
It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot.
As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help
keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On
cooktops with light-colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention.
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended.
For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack
the cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.
