About the radiant surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

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

Suggested radiant surface element settings

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

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 to the desired setting (See Suggested settings for single and dual radiant elements table). 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. 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.

Designed with the home cook in mind, the Bosch HES3023U includes a range of user-friendly features, such as touch control technology that provides a sleek and seamless interface for adjusting settings. The timer function allows for precise cooking times, and the heat indicator keeps users informed about the temperature of the zones, enhancing safety in the kitchen.

For added convenience, the cooktop incorporates a lock feature, which prevents accidental adjustments, especially in households with children. The automatic shut-off feature adds another layer of safety by turning off the cooktop when it senses inactivity, ensuring peace of mind while cooking.
