Hot Element Indicator 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 “H” (hot element) warning when the

cooktop is still too hot to touch. If the H message appears in

 CAUTION

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.

ik CAUTION

I 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.

Important notes:

• If no element size is chosen when the bridge element is

turned ON, only the front coil will heat by default.

• 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 9
(hi) setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
cooktop. Cycling at the 9 (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 flat.

Warm & Hold Feature

The Warm & Hold feature may be used with any of the

Cooking Elements.

To Turn the Warm & Hold Feature ON:

1.

To select the Warm & Hold feature for any Cooking

2.

Touch the & Hold key pad located in the main control area.
The associated display will show L (low heat) indicating
that the Cooking Element is properly set to Warm & Hold.

If no other key pads are pressed the control will activate

the desired Cooking Element at the Warm & Hold setting.
