Important notes:

•If no element size is chosen when the expandable element is turned ON, only the inner coil will heat by default.

•Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•For emcient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

•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.

•Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.
