Hot Surface Indicator Light On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located on the display panel. The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area. Home Canning Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most-recently used areas to cool.

Sabbath Mode Warm (on some models) WARNING For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath mode, visit www.star-k.org. The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain ON in a Bake setting until turned off. The Oven Control Lockout feature will be disabled during the Sabbath mode.
