Hot Surface Indicator Lights
A HOT SURFACE light will glow brightly when any
radiant element is hot to the touch, and will remain lit
after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool
enough to touch.
• It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.
• It stays on even after the unit is turned off.
• It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.
A HOT SURFACE light will glow brightly when
any radiant element is turned on.

CAUTION: When the surface controls are
turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light
will remain lit until the cooktop surface has
cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic
surface will retain heat after the indicator light
goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface
has had time to cool.
SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed
if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom: Good performance, but copper
may leave residues which can appear as scratches.
The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will
leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
smooth bottom recommended
Good conductivity. Use caution if sliding the pan
across the glass cooktop because it may scratch the
glass. Pans with non-enamel coated bottoms may
be used if the bottom of the pan is very smooth.
Glass-ceramic: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
