Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
• Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
HOT Surface Indicator Lights
• Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)
• Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)
• Five HOT surface indicator lights (on models equipped with
Warming Element)
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.
