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 will cycle on and
off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
Single element
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.
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.
CAUTION
