Using the Cooktop

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by
permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface.
For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the
element size.
Pans should not extend more than
beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen
through the glass cooktop surface. The element
cycles on and off to maintain the preset heat
setting, even on Hi.

NOTE
It is normal to see a very faint red ring around the
outer edge of a dual or triple element when using
it as a single element at a high heat setting. This
is only a reflection from the bright glow of the
center element and is not a malfunction.

Hot Surface Indicator

Once the element is turned off, HS (hot surface
indicator) appears in the display as long as the
surface cooking area is too hot to touch.
It remains on until the surface has cooled to
approximately 150 °F.
NOTE
During Self Clean (available on some models),
HS remains on.
CAUTION
It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on
and off during cooking, even on higher settings.
This will happen more frequently if cooking on a
lower temperature setting.

Using the Cooktop Elements

CAUTION
Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for
oven and cooktop use.
Always use oven mitts when removing food
from the cooktop and oven.
Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food while on
the cooktop. Plastic may melt onto the surface
and be very difficult to remove.
Never leave food on the cooktop
unattended. Spillovers can cause smoke.
Greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
The surface element may appear to have
cooled after it has been turned off. The element
may still be hot and touching the element before
it has cooled sufficiently can cause burns.
