Single radiant surface elements
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant surface element settings
table Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to nish
cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to
be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics
provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed (See Fig. 2). 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 radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
The suggested settings found in Fig.1 below are based
when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

CAUTION
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
• The on indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this
indicator light when nished cooking 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
remain on until the heating surface area has cooled
sufciently.
IMPORTANT
• 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 sufciently.
• Do not place ammable 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 re if placed too close to
the surface elements.

• Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-
enamel coated cookware on a hot ceramic cooktop!
The melting point of some cookware may be reached
if left heating on the cooktop when empty. The
cookware can bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the
cookware melts it will damage the cooktop! Be sure to
follow all the manufacturer’s suggestions when using
any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
• 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 can damage the ceramic cooktop.
