Cooking areas
The cooking areas on your range are identifi ed by permanent circles on the glass cooking
surface. For the most effi cient cooking, fi t the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than ½” to 1” beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooking surface. The
element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
