Creme® INDICATOR LIGHTS 4 5 6 7 PAN SIZE PANEL LOCK H H H 2 3 8 9 1 KEEP WARM POWER Hot indicator lights The element "ON" indicator light · · · Element "ON" Indicator Light The element "ON" indicator light glows whenever any element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of the elements are turned off. The "ON" light is located to the left of the Power Pad. Hot Surface Indicator Light Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. After the element is turned off, an "H" will appear in the element display. The H remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature. If an H is lit inside the element display, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. · PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG LIFE AND GOOD APPEARANCE OF THE SURFACE: · Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots. Either the small inner element, the inner and middle elements or the inner, middle and outer elements may be selected. Keep Warm Guidelines · Use pans/utensils with flat bases. Plates, platters, and casseroles with a shallow ridge around the base can be used provided they are made of heatsafe material. Choose pans and utensils that may be safely used on a hot surface. Example: Use CorningWare® "safe for rangetop" rather than Pyrex ® "not recommended for cooktop use". Use a trivet or steamer basket inside a pan when necessary to raise food off bottom of the pan. Use a small amount of water to steam tortillas. Do not use a trivet directly on the cooktop. BRIDGE ELEMENT (36" and 45" Models Only) The Bridge element consists of 3 separate elements that can be operated in 2 different ways: · Use of either one or both of the circular elements independently. · Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge element simultaneously with a single control. When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles, open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a flat bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely as possible. · · · TEMPERATURE LIMITERS Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures.
