Boost Power Level

Boost mode is only available immediately after activating a cooking element. When the cooking element is set to the Boost mode, the mode operates for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking element automatically returns to the level10 setting.

Hot Surface Indicator

The hot surface indicator light glows as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch.

It remains on after the element is turned off and until the surface has cooled to approximately 130 °F.

It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on and off when cooking at lower temperature settings.
