settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower simmer
settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

HOT SURFACE
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.
Fig.4
Note: The Hot Surface
indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will
remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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.
