SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements (all mod-
els)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface ele-
ment.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in
either direction (Figure 9) to the desired setting
(refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element
settings” in Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant sur-
face 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 ex-
actly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided
as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed
(see Figure 9).
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cook-
ware is too small for the surface heating area.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are
based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
Settings Type of Cooktop
High Start most foods, bring
water to a boil, pan
broiling
Medium High Continue a rapid boil,
fry, deep fat fry
Medium Maintain a slow boil,
thicken sauces and
gravies or steam vege-
tables
Medium Low Keep foods cooking,
poach, stew
Low Low temperature cook-
ing
Low Keep warm, melt

CAUTION
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned o. The
element may still be hot and burns may occur
if the element is touched before it has cooled
suciently.
• 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.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip
bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
NOTES
• The size and type of utensil used and the
amount and type of food being cooked will
influence 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
finished cooking is an easy check to be sure
all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Sur-
face indicator light will remain on AFTER the
control knob is turned to the “OFF” position
and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled suciently.
IMPORTANT
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.
