Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for the best cooking results. 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.
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements; the RIGHT REAR position and the LEFT REAR element positions may be used as single element (See Fig. 2 or 3). Refer to Fig. 1 for recommended surface cooking settings.

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 aluminum foil or 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.
