Retained Heat
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have
been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving tempera-
tures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Temperature Limiter
Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur-
face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by
cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.
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.
Oven Racks
Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
tions:
•
Three flat racks
•
Two flat racks and one full extension rack
•
Two flat racks and one half rack
Flat Oven Racks
The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out
of the oven and not tilt.
CAUTION
To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning
oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must
be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat-
ing elements.
Inserting Racks Into Oven
1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides.
2. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.
3. Bring rack to a horizontal position and press the rest of the way in. Rack
should be straight and flat, not crooked.
