Setting Type of Cooking

MEDIUM (3.0 - 5.0)Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables

MEDIUM LOW (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach or stew (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).

LOW/SIMMER (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt or simmer (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).Fig, 1

Note: The size and type of cookware used wilt influence the setting needed for the best cooking results. The simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements

The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements; the RIGHT REAR position (Fig. 2) and the LEFT REAR ONLY element position may be used as single or a Bridge element (See Fig. 3). Refer to Fig. 1 for recommended surface cooking settings.

	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.		Fig.4

Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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.
