Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element)
message will turn ON and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate
level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned OFF.
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting using the ESEC digital
display window to verify (Fig.3). Turn the knob to adjust
the setting as needed.
3.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. 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.
4.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Note
: The
surface “
Element On
” indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these
indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
Also,
the
HE message
will appear in the display after turning the
control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on
until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
