NOTE: The halogen element will not be illuminated at
settings LO through 3. The higher the selected
temperature, the brighter the illumination from
the element.
The halogen element will not cycle unless it has been left
at a high heat setting for an extended amount of time
without a pan in place or if the pan has boiled dry.
Turn control to OFF position, when finished.
Surface Element Hot Indicator Lights
Some cooktops feature four surface element indicator
lights, some feature just one. On single indicator models,
the hot indicator light glows red when any of the surface
elements are turned on. On multiple light models, the hot
indicator light glows red when the corresponding element
is turned on. For all models, the surface indicator light
remains on until the surface element reaches a safe
temperature.
The four hot indicator lights featured on some models
are located in the center of the control panel. The hot
indicator lights glow red when the corresponding element
is turned on. The light remains on until the corresponding
element has cooled.

Cleaning
Do not clean cooktop until it cools. Sudden temperature
changes can crack the cooktop surface. Washing the
cooktop with hot, soapy water after each use minimizes
the need for heavy cleaning. To preserve the original
appearance, rinse and wipe the surfaces dry after
washing.
Wipe up marinades, fruit juices, vinegar and milk spills to
avoid permanent stains. These materials contain acids
and cause discoloration and permanent staining. DO
NOT touch any portion of the cooktop when it is hot.
Wait and wipe up spills after the cooktop is cool.
