WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range
unattended with the cooktop ON above a Lo setting. Keep
flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls
when done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fire, serious injury or death.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary
from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting
you want.
A surface ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit
is on.
For glass cooktop surfaces:
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will:
• come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
• stay on even after the unit is turned off.
• stay on until the unit is cooled to approximately 150°F.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining your
desired setting.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
Coil Cooktops
Each coil surface unit uses "SENSI-TEMP TECHNOLOGY" to
reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires. This feature
is located in the center of each surface unit. Power to the
surface unit is temporarily interrupted when a pot or pan
exceeds expected cooking temperatures. Even after the
surface units are turned off, the surface unit retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing
anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.
