(Figure 2), the LEFT REAR position (Figure 3) and the LEFT
FRONT position (Figure 4). The left elements may be combined

Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red
surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will
remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned
off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.
