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.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.

IMPORTANT

The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.

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

NOTES

If all 3 bridge zones are in use with the bridge feature and you need the left rear as a single element for a

different reason, change the bridge size to or

and then set the left rear position independently.
