Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
@
Your range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your range--
the Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light. The Element On located on
the control panel, will glow when any surface element is turned on. A quick glance at this light
after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off. The Hot Surface
indicator light, located on the control panel, will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and
will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use
the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. 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.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the cookware.
Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A
quick glance at the indicator light(s) 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.
To Operate
Simmer Select Surface Element
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select element as you would any normal surface element on
the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature. This featu re allows the element to heat at a much
lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob
indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
NOTE: The element will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between MAX and MED.

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.
