COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. 
Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide 
when setting heat levels.
Cooktop On Indicator Lights
Each set of control knobs, left and right of the oven control, have 
a Cooktop On indicator light. When either control on a side is on, 
the light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (on some models)
The hot surface indicator light, located on the cooking surface, 
will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, 
even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner 
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also 
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil 
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce 
excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more 
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner 
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the 
Off position.
