Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on,
and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
Indicator light will:
■ come on when the unit is turned on or hot
to the touch.
■ stay on even after the unit is turned off.
■ glow until the unit is cooled to approximately
150°F.
The WM (warm) setting (on some
models) on the right REAR surface unit
keeps already heated food warm until
ready to serve.
Dual Surface Unit (on some models)
The dual surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select
from so you can match the size of the unit to the
size of the cookware you are using.
To use the small surface unit, push in
the SMALL BURNER portion of the switch
above the control knob.
To use the large surface unit, push in
the LARGE BURNER portion of the switch
above the control knob.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is maintaining
your desired setting.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle
the units off for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off-center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and
Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are
recommended. Use of water bath
canners with rippled bottoms may
extend the time required to bring
the water to a boil.
