°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 9 (hi) setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the 9 (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.
