 note

ceramic glass cooktop only: Radiant elements have 

a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, 

even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage 

to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is 

normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for 

the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

shakers,  spoon  holders  or  plastic  wrappings  on

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch 

fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
