Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart below to determine the correct setting for the
kind of food you are preparing. 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.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will inuence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Radiant surface elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned o. A hot surface
indicator light will come 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
o.
Do not place 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 re
if placed too close to the surface elements.

Setting Surface Controls
To Operate the Single 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 2).
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note:
The Hot Surface Indicator light will come on when the
control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow
until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate
level. The light may remain on even though the controls
are turned OFF.
Note: See table, for recommended control settings.
Important notes:
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to nish cooking.
• For ecient 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
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 is not at.
