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 
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 
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
The hot surface indicator light glows as long as any 
surface cooking area is too hot to touch.
It remains on after the element is turned off and until 
the surface has cooled to approximately 150 °F.
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.
