Operating Single Radiant
Surface Elements
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 suffi ciently.
Do not place 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 fi re if placed too close to the surface
elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop
they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Setting Surface Controls
Figure 1 - Location of Single Elements
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. Turn the
knob to adjust the setting if desired.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.
IMPORTANT
• For effi cient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• 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. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. Refer to chart above for suggested
power level settings.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher
setting and then turn to a lower setting to fi nish
cooking.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows
the radiant heating element to cycle on and
off, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent
damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will occur more
often if cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not fl at.
• 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.
