Radiant surface elements
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The element may still be
hot and burns may occur if the element is touched before it has
cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to the surface elements.To operate the radiant
element.
Important: The type and size of utensil you use, as well as the
amount and type of food you cook, will influence the power
setting necessary to obtain the best results. The suggested
adjustments in the table are based on cooking with medium-
weight utensils made of aluminum and with lids. The settings
may vary when other types of utensils are used.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction
(Figure 4) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested
radiant surface element settings” table, Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element
OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do
not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (see
Figure 4). A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too
small for the surface heating area.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in below are based on cooking
with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.
Important note: Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material
that can melt to make contact with the radiant surface element.
If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the
cooktop.
Important notes:
• The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator
lights when finished cooking is an easy check to be sure all
control knobs are turned OFF.
Settings Type of Cooktop
High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil,
pan broiling
Medium High (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
