Note: The size and type of cookware used wilt influence the setting needed for the best cooking results. The simmer
settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower simmer
settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements; the
RIGHT REAR position (Fig. 2) and the LEFT REAR ONLY
element position may be used as single or a Bridge element
(See Fig. 3). Refer to Fig. 1 for recommended surface
cooking settings.

REAR
5. When cooking has been completed touch the _1 pad once to turn the element OFF. HOTSURFACE
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. Fig.4
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will
remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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 aluminum foil or 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 fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
