3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the
element off before removing the pan.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Note: 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.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top
of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the element.
AUTOMATIC LOCK OFF
OF THE SURFACE ELEMENTS
(30" models with a self-cleaning oven only)
During the self-clean cycle, the surface ele-
ments, when used, are subjected to high heat.
To ensure maximum element life, a safeguard
locks off the use of the surface elements during
the self-clean cycle. Once the oven cleaning
cycle is complete and the oven door can be
opened, the surface elements can be utilized.
