Setting Surface Controls

Single radiant surface elements (all models)

To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction

(Figure 1) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested

radiant surface element settings” in Table 1).

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface 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 exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics

provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (see

Figure 1).

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.

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.

Important note: 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.

- 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 sufficiently.

- 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.

Important 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 turn on 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 Surface

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 sufficiently.
