Hot Surface Light

The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the control panel. The light will be illuminated when any cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled.

Warming Center

Use the Warming Center to keep hot cooked foods warm, such as vegetables, gravies and oven-safe dinner plates.

Smoothtop Surface

Smoothtop Surface Notes:

•Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements.

•In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking surface.

•Never attempt to lift the cooktop.

•The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Setting the Control:

1. Push in and turn the knob. Warming temperatures are approximate and are indicated on the control as Min, 2-8 and Max. However, the control can be set to any position between Min and Max.

2. When done, turn the control to OFF and remove food. The Hot Surface indicator light

will go off when the Warming Center surface has cooled.

Notes:

•Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.

•Do not heat cold food on the Warming Center.

•Heat settings will vary depending on type and amount of food. Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140°-170°F.
