Setting Surface Controls
To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)
To Operate a Single Radiant Element:
t. 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 (See illustration). 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 mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. 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 iscomplete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue
to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
The suggested settings found in the table below are based on cooking in medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
