SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
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.

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.
• 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 Element ON indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights 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 glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufciently.
• 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.
