HOT Surface Indicator Lights

Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)
The HOT surface indicator light on the cooktop surface will glow
when any one of the surface elements are turned on. The HOT
surface indicator light will glow as long as the elements are too
hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)
Five HOT surface indicator lights (on models equipped with
W arming Zone)
HOT
CHAUD
The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow
when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The
HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the
elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.
NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT
surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm
to touch. There are five hot surface indicator lights on models
equipped with Warming Zone.

Fluorescent Cooktop Light

(on some models)
The cooktop light is in the top of the control console. The switch
is on the control console. Push the switch to turn the light on. The
light may take a few seconds to light up.

Appliance Outlets

(on some models)
The 120v appliance outlets located on the control console may
be used to run portable appliances placed on counter tops
beside the range.
The outlets operate independently and are not affected by range
control settings.
NOTE:
Do not place appliances on the cooktop. Damage to the
appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.

Home Canning Information

Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops,
especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged
bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.
Center the canner over the largest surface cooking area. Do
not extend canner more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the
surface cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, can trap heat and result in damage to the
cooktop. Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas
at the same time.
The type of material the canner is made of determines the
length of heating time. Refer to the "Cookware" section for
more information.
When canning for long periods of time, allow elements and
surrounding surfaces to cool down.
Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches
or prepare small batches at a time.
Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil; then
reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
