Setting Surface ControJs
Single Radiant Surface E_ements (all models)
To Operate a Single Radiant Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Fig.
1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to
finish cooking. The surface controJ knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks 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.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
Note: The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON.
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished 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 sufficiently.

The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats
the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between normal
cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal
cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
To Start Simmer Select:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob.
3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the
marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).The Simmer Select
indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).
4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When
cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.
