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

°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

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.
