CAUTION
•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.
•To avoid possible burns always use potholders or oven mitts when handling cookware on the cooktop or whenever moving cookware to and from the cooktop.
•Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop 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.

NOTES
•The triple element size may be changed anytime the element is on.
•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.
IMPORTANT
The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display window after turning OFF an element that has been heating long enough to become hot. This message will remain displayed until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.
