Indicator Light will turn ON and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a
moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched

Both the 30" and 36" cooktops are equipped with dual radiant surface element
located as shown in Figs. 1 & 2. A touch key pad on the element controls is
used to select one of the 2 positions of the element. Indicator lights on the
control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will

(Fig. 4). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
