Before you start
CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass
surface before it has cooled down sufciently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore
later.
• If cabinet storage is located directly above the cooking surface, make sure
that the items in it are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area
subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile
liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.
About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant
element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle
on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle. For efcient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even
at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at
the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
CAUTION
if the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s
Self-cleaning function is on.

Operations
Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the cooktop is turned off, the presence
of residual heat is shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the
appropriate cooking zone. The residual heat indicator goes out only after the
cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat to thaw food or keep food warm.
WARNING
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
WARNING
If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and information
about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, you may still be able to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always
taking care when near the cooktop.
Cooking areas
• The cooking areas on your cooktop are identied by permanent circles on the
