NOTES
Fig. 2
Fig. 1
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
CAUTION
•Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufciently.
•Donotplaceammableitemssuch 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 re if placed too close to
the surface elements.
•The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
•The element on indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when cooking is nished is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF.
The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow
AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position
and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufciently.
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate a single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant surface element settings
table Fig. 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 nish 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. Each surface element provides
a constant amount of heat at each setting. 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.
