The Unit On Indicator Light will glow when ANY surface unit is on.

A Hot Surface Indicator Light will glow when any surface unit is turned on, and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.

At both off (•) and high (6) the control “clicks” into position.

In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat settings you selected are being maintained.

Switching to higher heat settings always results in a quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.

Cooking guide for using heat settings

High (6)—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.

Medium High (4–5)—Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

Medium (3–4)—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on large amounts of food.

Medium Low (2–3)—Cook after starting at high; cooks with little water in covered pan.

Low (1)—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At low setting, melt chocolate and butter on small surface unit.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or more units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface indicator light(s) will remain lit after the surface unit is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.

NOTE:

•At high (6) or medium high (4–5) settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch on fire.

•When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the Surface Cookware Tips section.

•It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.

CAUTION: The Hot Surface Indicator Light(s) may remain lit even after the surface unit(s) have been turned off. This is due to heat retention in the unit(s). The light(s) will not turn off until the unit(s) have cooled to a safe temperature. Use caution until the cooktop surface has had time to cool.
