J COOKING AREAS
J
The cooking areas on the 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 1/2 to 1-inch beyond
the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen
through the glass cooktop surface. The element will
cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting,
even on Hi.

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.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR

HS (Hot Surface) will appear in the display once the
element is turned off or during the self-clean cycle. The
HS indicator will stay on until the surface has cooled
to approximately 150°F (66°C) or when the self-clean
cycle ends.
CAUTION:
• It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on
and off during cooking, even at higher settings. This
will happen more frequently if cooking on a lower
temperature setting.
