Single radiant elements
1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant element.
2. To activate press and hold the
keypad for the
desired element until acceptance tone sounds.
3. To set power level press Hi or Lo keypad and if needed
toggle the Hi or Lo keypads to adjust to the desired
power level setting. Each touch of the Hi or Lo key pad
will decrease or increase the power level by 1/2 from
9.5 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and
1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Hi (Fig. 2)
is the highest power level. Lo (Fig. 3) is the lowest power
level available.
4. Once cooking is finished, press
keypad to turn the
element OFF (Fig. 4).

Important notes:
• The
Hot SurfaceHot Surface
Hot SurfaceHot Surface
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.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware
is
too smalltoo small
too smalltoo small
too small for the surface heating area.
• 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
cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
Hot Surface indicator lights
When using any of the radiant element positions, the
cooktop will become very hot. After turning any of the
elements off the cooktop may remain HOT for some time.
The corresponding Hot Surface indicator light (Fig. 4) will
turn on whenever any element position becomes HOT and
turn off once the cooktop 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.
The cooktop provides three single
radiant element locations as
illustrated. Use the following
instructions when operating these
elements.
The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1 are
based on cooking with medium sized aluminum pans with
lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments for
best surface cooking results.
