Cooking guide for using heat settings

Radiant surface units

Using Your Cooktop

Radiant Cooktop

The controls for the radiant surface units allow for 11 different heat settings: Low, 1–9 and High. The heating element may not visibly glow at low heat settings.

High (H) – Best for larger pans; brings liquids to a boil faster.

Medium High (7–9) – Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

Medium (4–6) – Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on large amounts of food.

Medium Low (2–3) – Cook after starting at high; cooks with little water in covered pan.

Low (1) – Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering.

Lowest (L) – Keeps food warm, melts chocolate and butter.

•Never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch on fire.

•It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface units on the glass surface when it is cool. Never place cookware on the control area.

NOTE: Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or more units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. After the surface unit is turned off, the hot surface indicator light will remain lit until the surface has cooled below 150° F.

Single surface unit

To turn on a single surface unit:

1.Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch the (+)/(-) pad. The surface unit will turn on to power setting H when (+) is pressed or to power setting L when (-) is pressed.

2.Use the (+)/(-) pads to choose the desired power setting. The control will beep each time a pad is touched.

To turn off a standard surface unit, touch the ON/OFF pad again.

Dual surface unit

The dual surface units have pan sizing sensors which will automatically set the small or large surface unit to match the size of your pan

when the pan detection feature is activated (see the Using the pan detection feature and Using the pan sizing feature sections).

To override the automatic pan sizing sensor and select the small or large surface unit:

1.Touch the dual surface unit ON/OFF pad.

2.Use the (+)/(-) pad to set the desired power setting.

3.Touch the SIZE SELECT pad once to turn on the large surface unit. Touch the pad again to turn on the small surface unit.

SIZE SELECT

When the indicator light next to the SIZE SELECT pad is on, the large surface unit is on. When it is off, the small surface unit is on.

To turn the dual surface unit off, touch the ON/OFF pad.
