Use flat-bottomed cookware for best
cooking results and energy efficiency.
The cookware should be about the
same size as the cooking area outlined
on the cooktop. Cookware should not
extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside
the area.
Use the following chart as a general guide for cookware material
characteristics. Individual results may vary.

Cooktop Indicators:
All Midea ranges are provided with separate indicators alerting the user that
the cooktop is in use and that the cooktop surface is hot.
Surface-On Indicator: Some models will indicate that a cooktop element is on
using a single light on the control panel.
Hot Surface Indicator: Some models will have individual indicators for each
element on the control panel. Alternatively, other models may only have a
single light on the control panel indicating that one or more elements are still
hot. The Hot Surface Indicator will illuminate shortly after turning an element
on, and it will remain illuminated after the element has been turned off.
NOTE
When the Hot Surface Indicator turns off, the glass surface may still feel
slightly hot to the touch. Avoid touching or placing anything on the cooktop
until it has completely cooled. The Hot Surface Indicator may illuminate when
the cooktop heats up during long baking cycles. This is normal.
