Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

IINDICATOR LIGHTS

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

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

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

oo®

bottom edge of the

cookware indicates the cookware is too

small for

o o

 

the surface heating

area.

,When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished 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.

Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)

The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal

cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal. To Start Simmer Select:

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

2.Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob.

3.Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).The Simmer Select indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).

4.To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

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

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, empty make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these
