Using Your Cooktop
Hot surface indicator lights
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights in the lobe at each control will glow when the surface units get hot. The Indicator Lights will continue to glow as long as the surface units are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.
