BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS About the Radiant Surface Elements Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the 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. The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. CAUTION • Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature. • Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. • Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Figure 3: On indicator light A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature. NOTE • Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. • Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the "Care and Cleaning" section and "Before You Call" checklist section of this Use and Care Guide. Figure 4: Hot surface indicator light IMPORTANT Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop. 13
