tasks. These settings can be used on more than one element at
the same time.

Hot Surface Indicator Light
An "H" will appear in the surface cooking area display as long as
any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the
surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
Component Temperature Management
The cooktop regulates the temperature of the internal
components during use. The cooktop may automatically reduce
the power of all the elements in use to keep the internal
components from overheating. To resume optimal cooking
performance, allow the cooktop to cool down for 30 minutes.

contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts
to remove cookware.

wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
