•
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off.
The glass surface
may still be hot
and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
•
Do not
place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
•
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
•
The Element ON indicator lights will turn on when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on
AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.
