Surface cooking settings
Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Setting | Type of Cooking |
|
|

| and pan broiling. |

NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop 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.
CAUTION
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.
