Hot Surface Indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show when
the cooking surface is too hot to touch. A letter H will
appear above the element touch pad.
The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to
a safe-to-touch temperature.
If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Element ‘ON’ Indicator Light
The area above the element touch pad being used will
show the cook setting when the element is on. When the
element is turned off, the hot surface indicator comes on
in this area (See below).
Keep Warm
Each element has a keep warm setting to keep hot,
cooked foods at serving temperatures.
To set Keep Warm feature:
1. Touch element pad for desired element.
2. Touch KEEP WARM pad. L is displayed above selected
element and element comes on.

Keep Warm Guidelines
Use pans/utensils with flat bases. Plates and casseroles
with shallow ridges around the base can be used
provided they are made of heat-safe materials.
Keep dish covered to keep foods hot. Do not use paper or
plastic.
Choose pans and cookware that may be safely used on a
hot surface. Example: Use CorningWare® "Safe for
Rangetop" rather than Pyrex® which is not
recommended for cooktop use.
Use a trivet or steamer inside a pan when necessary to
raise food off bottom of pan.

magTron Dial
The cooktop uses an magTron magnetic dial to select the
desired heat setting. The magTron dial is held onto the
cooktop by a strong magnet and automatically positions
itself in the center of the dial location when placed on the
cooktop.
Note: If the dial is removed from the cooktop when in
use, all elements will be turned off after 10 seconds. The
cooktop is locked and the Panel Lock light comes on. (See
Setting Panel Lock on Page 11.)
