Cooktop Indicators (continued):

Hot Surface Indicator: Some models will have individual indicators for each
element under the cooktop glass. Alternatively, other models may only
have a single light under the cooktop glass indicating that one or more
elements are still hot. The Hot Surface Indicator will illuminate shortly after
turning an element on, and it will remain illuminated after the element has
been turned off.

NOTE: When the Hot Surface Indicator turns off, the glass surface may still
feel slightly hot to the touch. Avoid touching or placing anything on the
cooktop until it has completely cooled. The Hot Surface Indicator may
illuminate when the cooktop heats up during self-clean or long baking
cycles. This is normal.

Controlling the Cooking Elements:

To turn a cooking element on, push in on the control knob and turn in either
direction. The small icon above the control knob indicates the location of
the element being controlled. The various settings (from OFF to HI) are
located on the knob itself. Adjust to the desired heat setting by aligning the
power level on the knob to the indicator mark on the control panel. To turn

an element off, simply rotate the control knob to the OFF position.

Controlling Elements with Multiple Heating Areas

(some models): Even if a

cooking element has multiple heating areas, each cooking element is
controlled by a single knob. When controlling a cooking element with
multiple heating areas, pay close attention to the markings on the knob.
The region being controlled is indicated by a series of concentric rings
corresponding to the areas being controlled.

1.

A single dot " " indicates only the smallest or center most section of the

cooking element is being powered.

2.

A dot with a ring " " indicates that two center sections of the cooking

element are being powered. (On an element with only two heating areas,

this means both heating areas are active.)

3.

A dot with two rings " " indicates that all three sections of the cooking

element are being powered.
