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 aluminum
foil or 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 or burners.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing
hands on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or
oven mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
