Your cooktop has a Hot Surface Light to indicate when a cooking area is hot to the touch even after the control has been turned off. The red light will remain on until the area has cooled.
� A red indicator light will glow when an element is turned ON. There is a light for each element, � When an element is turned ON, the cooking area will heat up and the red glow of the heating element will be seen through the glass-ceramic top. It is normal to see the red glow of the element whenever it cycles ON. The elements will cycle on and off for all control settings except HI.
