SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
NOTE
See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on
page 10.
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
The cooktop has 2 or 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements:
the left rear position (Figures 1, 2 & 3), the right rear
position (Figures 1 and 2), and the right front position
(Figures 1 and 3). The left rear element may also be used
with the Bridge element (Model C only - Figure 3).
ToOperatetheSingleRadiantSurface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 (Figure 4). Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to nish cooking. 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 has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element)
message (Models B & C) or the hot surface indicator
light (Model A) will turn ON and will continue to glow
until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate
level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns
may occur if the glass surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned OFF. The message may
remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
CAUTION
Donotplaceplasticitemssuchassaltand
peppershakers,spoonholdersorplastic
wrappingsoncooktop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.
CAUTION
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.
NOTE
The surface “Element On” indicator lights will glow
when one or more elements are turned on. A quick
glance at these indicator lights when cooking is nished
is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are
turned off.
