Hot Surface Indicator Lights

A HOT SURFACE light will glow brightly when any

radiant element is hot to the touch, and will remain lit

after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool

enough to touch.

• It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.

• It stays on even after the unit is turned off.

• It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.

CAUTION: When the surface controls are

turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light

will remain lit until the cooktop surface has

cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic

surface will retain heat after the indicator light

goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface

has had time to cool.

Types of Cookware

The following information will help you choose

cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel: highly recommended

Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The

sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless

steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the

advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,

even heat distribution).

Aluminum: heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes

appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed

if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom: Good performance, but copper

may leave residues which can appear as scratches.

The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop

is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these

pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass

cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will

leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop

if not removed immediately.
