Hot Element Indlcator Message

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after setting the controls to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The cooktop control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch. If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for

use.

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 aluminum foil, plastic items such as 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.

°Start most cooking operations on a higher 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 allows the radiant heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.
