is set to an on position, while the self-clean
cycle is operating, will automatically come
could result in an on, unattended surface
to set and use the surface units. The radiant
cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface. Cooktop temperatures
increase with the number of surface units
that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on,
surface temperatures are high. Always
use caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when the
surface unit is turned on. The appropriate
HOT surface indicator light will glow when
its corresponding radiant element is turned
on and will remain on until the surface has
cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
Come on when the surface unit is hot to
the touch.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).

Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
(on some models)
NOTE: On models with light-colored
glass cooktops, it is normal for the
cooking zones to change color when
hot or cooling down. This is temporary
and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from
