IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they can damage the ceramic cooktop.

NOTES

•Start most cooking operations at a higher heat setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

•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.

•Radiant elements have a limiter that will make the element cycle ON and OFF, even at the high setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the high setting is normal and will occur more frequently if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is warped.

Hot Element (HE) Message

After heating using any of the cooktop elements, the cooktop will become very hot. Even with all the controls off, the cooktop will remain hot for some time afterwards.

	The controls monitor the
	temperature of the cooktop
	surface. If the message "HE" (hot
	element) shows in the cooktop
Fig. 1	display window, then the cooktop
	is too hot to touch (Figure 1).

NOTE

Any heating zone may be set again and used for cooking even if the HE message is displayed.
