SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
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 flammable items such as plastic 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.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTES
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
The On indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator
light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be
sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control
knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until
the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
