Important notes:

•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.

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

•Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface element settings table for suggested power level settings.

•Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the 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 flat.
