Hot Surface Indicator Light
The Hot Surface Indicator Light is located in the central area of
the control panel, above the Power Level selector bar. The Hot
Surface Indicator Light will glow as long as any surface cooking
area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is
turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Light will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
Component Temperature Management
The cooktop regulates the temperature of the internal
components during use. The cooktop automatically reduces the
power of all the elements in use to keep the internal components
from over-heating. To resume optimal cooking performance,
allow the cooktop to cool down for 30 minutes.
Surface On Indicator Light
The control panel has a Surface On indicator light. When any of
the elements are on, the light will glow.
The power level 1 light next to an element will glow when that
element is on.
