and turn in either
direction to the
desired heat setting.

finish cooking.
The surface unit "on" indicator light will glow
when ANY surface unit is on.

LO} Cook after stinting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered palL.

Light Over the Surface Units
The switch must be pushed, held fl)r several seconds
and released for the light to come on.
Special Notes for Glass Cooktops:
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number
of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units
turned on, surface temperatures are high so be
careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface
indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch•
NOTE:
• At HI and Medium High scttings never lea\, e food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spiitovers may catch fire.
• At Medium Low and LO settings melt chocolate
and butter on n small surface unit.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds (longer for
radiant units)• The red glow will turn on and off
(cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With
poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the
unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize
the cycling. See the Surface Cookware Tips section•
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.
