COOKTOP USE %=0_) K _;',i) %=17 11i_,,_Ii) The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level. It is normal for the surface of white or biscuit ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color. Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. To Replace: 1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle. Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
