Operation - Cooktop
English 10
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the 
limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:
The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to 
a warped or uneven base).
The pan is too small for the element.
The pan has boiled dry.
The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
Hot Surface Indicator
The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too 
hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning 
around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
