Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your cooktop has Hot Surface Lights located next to the elements. These lights indicate when the adjacent cooking

area is hot to the touch even after the control has been turned

off. The red light will remain on until the area has cooled.

Cooking Areas

direction.

turn clockwise from OFF to control the large element and counter-clockwise from OFF to control the small element.

•When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing down.

•When the control knob is tm_ed ON, the ring around the control knob will glow.

•When an element is turned ON, the cooking area will heat up and the red glow of the heating element will be seen through the glass-ceramic top. It is normal to see the red glow of the element whenever it cycles ON. The elements will cycle on and off for all control settings except HI.
