Setting Surface Controls
Single Radiant Element
The cooktop provides single radiant elements located as
illustrated. Use the following instructions when operating
these elements.
To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Touch and hold the
pad until a beep sounds. The
power indicator light will turn ON. Note: If no key pad
is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON
the cooktop will clear.
3. Touch the
pad for the desired element position. The
element display will show 0. Note: If no further pads
are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the
element ON will clear.
4. Touch
pad once to turn ON the power level to 9
(Hi). Touch pad once for 1 (Lo).
5. Each touch of the or pad will increase or
decrease the power level from 1 through 9. Half power
levels (available between 1 and 7 power level) are
indicated by lighting the display decimal point. Note:
The power level may be adjusted at any time while the
element is ON.
6. When cooking has been completed touch the
pad
once to turn the element OFF and if no other surface
element is used touch the key pad to turn o the
cooktop. Note: The H (hot element) message will remain
ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until
the heating surface area has cooled su ciently.
Radiant surface elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned o . The glass
surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled su ciently.
Do not place aluminum foil, 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 re if placed too close to the surface
elements.
Important notes:
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to nish cooking.
For e cient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
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.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the 9
(hi) setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
cooktop. Cycling at the 9 (HI) setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not at.
