Setting Surface Controls
Single Element Control
The cooktop has two or three single radiant surface elements:
the left rear and left front elements, and the right rear element.
The left front element may also be used with the bridge
element.
To operate the single element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
2. Turn the control knob and adjust temperatures from Lo to
HI.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element
off before removing the cookware.
Important notes:
• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
• Refer to the suggested radiant surface element settings for
suggested power level settings as shown in the table on this
page. 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.
Triple Surface Element
The expandable element can handle 6 inch, 9 inch, or 12 inch
cookware. The triple element is especially useful for canning or
heating large amounts of water.
To operate the triple surface element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the element size that
best fits the cookware.
3. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting.
4. When finished cooking, turn the control knob to OFF before
removing the cookware.
Important notes:
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• 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.
• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning
and Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.
