INDICATOR LIGHTS HOT SURFACE ON · · · ELEMENT `ON' INDICATOR LIGHT The element "ON" indicator light glows whenever any element is turned on. The "ON" light is located in front of the Hot Surface Indicator Lights and is marked ON. · PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG LIFE AND GOOD APPEARANCE OF THE SURFACE: · Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots. The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it. Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface. Do not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass surface; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface. Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass surface. Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass. Do not place wet pans on the glass surface. HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. The signal light will turn on automatically in the area marked Hot Surface. The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. · · · RETAINED HEAT The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time. · · · · · · CONTROL KNOBS The placement of each knob corresponds to the placement of the heating element that it controls. To turn on any element, PUSH down on the knob and TURN in either direction to the desired heat setting.
