become hot.

not operate when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.
COOKTOP ON Light
The COOKTOP ON indicator lights are located on the left and
right-hand sides of the control panel. The left light will glow when
the left surface control knobs are turned on. The right light will
glow when the right surface control knobs are turned on.
The indicator light will go off when all control knobs have been
turned off, even when one or more surface cooking areas are
still hot.

Ceramic Glass

(on some models)
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.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops
with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more
visible, and may require more cleaning and care. For more
information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the
cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
