J

is used touch the _WEj_ key pad to turn off the cooktop.

Note: The HE (hot element) message will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

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 or plastic items such as saff 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.
