Radiant Surface Element Settings
The suggested settings below are based when cooking with
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.
Suggested settings for single and dual (some models) radiant
surface elements:
Settings Type of Cooking
High (HI-9) Start most foods, bring water
to boil, pan broiling
Medium high (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry,
deep fat fry
Medium (5-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken
sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables
Medium-low (2-4) Keep foods cooking, poach,
stew
Low (LO-1) Keep warm, melt, simmer
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 sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass-
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Important: Do not straddle cookware between two cooking
elements unless the cookware and cooktop is designed for that
purpose, such as bridges and griddles.
