Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2).

 

Be sure to follow the

 

recommendations for using

 

proper cookware as illustrated in

 

Figs. 1 & 2. For more information

 

about the ceramic cooktop see

 

“Cooktop Cleaning &

 

Maintenance” in the General

Fig. 2

Care & Cleaning section.

To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements

Fig. 1

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

1.Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table, Figs. 3 & 4). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the

control knob as needed. 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.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

 

Note: The Element On indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick

 

glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs

Fig. 3

are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned

 

to the “OFF” position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Type of Cooking

The suggested settings found in Fig. 4 are based when cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

HIGH (HI - 9)

Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling

 

 

MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8)

Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry

 

 

MEDIUM (5 - 6)

Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or

 

steam vegetables

 

 

MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4)

Keep foods cooking, poach, stew

 

 

LOW (LO - 1)

Keep warm, melt, simmer

 

 

 

Fig. 4

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 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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.
