Hot Surface
Indicator
Light
This unit features a Hot Surface Indicator Light for each surface
cooking area. 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.
To Use:
1.
Turn knob from the OFF position
anywhere
between
LOW
and HIGH,
2.
Turn knob to OFF when finished.
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also
randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High to
keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
