Siemens HE2425 manual Temperature Limiter, Hot Surface Indicator, Flat Oven Racks

Page 10

	Getting Started
Temperature Limiter	Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur-
	face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by
	cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.
	Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the
	limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:
	• The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to
	a warped or uneven base).
	• The pan is too small for the element.
	• The pan has boiled dry.
	• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
Hot Surface Indicator	The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too
	hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning
	around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Oven Racks	Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
	tions:
	• Three flat racks
	• Two flat racks and one full extension rack
	• Two flat racks and one half rack
Flat Oven Racks	The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out
	of the oven and not tilt.

CAUTION

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat- ing elements.
