Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear and left rear
(Figure 2) element positions.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting
(Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing Lo
the cookware. Note: The Hot Surface Indicator light wiI[ come on when the control
knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to G-_
a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF. 2
