Hot element (HE) message
After using any of the
radiant element positions
the ceramic cooktop will
become very hot. Even
after turning the control off,
the cooktop will remain hot
for some time.
The cooktop control
monitors the temperature
of the cooktop surface
and displays a message

fl ashes the burner rings
when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-.
If the HE message remains displayed in the LCD,
the heating zone may be set again and used for
cooking.

the indicator light has turned OFF.

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it
is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
