Surface cooking
CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
•  Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
•  The surface may still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass 
surface before it has cooled down sufciently.
•  Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning 
chore later.
•  If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure 
that the items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area 
subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items, such as volatile 
liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 
element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle 
on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and 
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efcient cooking, turn off the element 
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to 
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even 
at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at 
the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant 
element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
NOTE
When you operate the knob, beep sounds once.
