Dual Surface Units And Control Knobs (On Some Models); Location Of The Radiant Surface Elements And Controls; Hot Surface Indicator; After Cooking - Hisense HER30F5CSS Use & Care Manual

(2) Dual Surface Units and Control Knobs (on some
models)
The surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you
can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware
you are using.

(3) Location of the radiant surface elements and controls

The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface
elements on the cook top as shown below.
The cooktop indicator light will be on when any one or
more burners are in use, and the cooktop indicator light
will be off when all burners are off.

(4) Hot surface indicator

Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150 °F

(5) AFTER COOKING

Do not touch the surface units until they have

cooled down.
The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur

if you touch the glass surface before it has cooled
down sufficiently.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to

prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the

cooking surface, make sure that the items are
infrequently used and can be safely stored in an
area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be
unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or
aerosol sprays.

(6) About the radiant surface elements

The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the radiant element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on
and off. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off
cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.

(7) NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic cook top. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom
is not flat.

(8) Using the Warm Zone

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at
temperatures below 140°F.
NOTE
The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking
elements.
Always start with hot food. Do not use warm setting

to heat cold food.
Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours. The

WARM ZONE, located in the back center of the glass
surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to
heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
WARM ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
To turn the WARM ZONE on, press Warm Zone, press one
(Lo), twice (Med) or three times(Hi).
To turn the WARM ZONE off, press the Warm Zone pad.
For best results, all foods on the WARM ZONE should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow
moisture to escape.
The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of
pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing
food from the WARM ZONE, since cookware and plates
will be hot.
NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the
cooking elements.
The self-cleaning feature will not operate when the warm
center is on.
