Surface Elements Cycle On and Off
Surface elements will cycle on and off to
maintain the temperature you have selected.
All radiant surface elements have a
temperature limiter that protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the elements
off while cooking if:
 The pan boils dry.
 The pan bottom is not flat.
 The pan is off-center.
 There is no pan on the element.
Control Lock-Out
(appearance may vary)
To lock the cooktop and prevent unwanted use,
turn the control lock knob to LOCK. An indicator
light will glow to show that the cooktop is
locked.
To unlock, press and turn the knob to UNLOCK.
In the locked position, the cooktop will produce
an audible sound if any control knob is set to a
position other than OFF.

The chart above shows initial suggested settings
only. The temperature, type and amount of food,
and the time held will affect the quality of the
food.
CAUTION:
Do not warm food on
the WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.
Use only cookware recommended for top-of-
range cooking.
The WARMING ZONE will keep hot, cooked
food at serving temperature. Always start with
hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the warming zone
could result in foodborne illness.
For best results, all food on the WARMING ZONE
should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
When warming pastries or breads, the cover
should be vented to allow moisture to escape.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the WARMING ZONE as
cookware and plates will be hot.
A hot surface indicator light will glow when the
glass surface is hot and will remain on until the
surface has cooled below 150°F.
