  • Surface temperatures may become hot near controls.
  • Controls are close to some cooking zones.
  • No separate ON indicator light.
  • Dial controls may not give accurate power level readings.

  • Any spills around or on the cooking zone can bake on and may need special ceramic glass cleaner or a glass scraper to remove.
