Single radiant surface elements (all models)

To operate the single radiant element:

1.Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the

Suggested radiant surface element settings table Fig. 1). 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 spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed (See Fig. 2). 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 radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

CAUTION

•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 flammable items such as plastic 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.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melttomakecontactwiththeceramicglasscooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

NOTES

•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.

•The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when finished cooking is an easy check to be sure all control knobs 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.
