To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements

the desired setting (Figure 4). Turn the knob to adjust the setting
if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to fi nish cooking. 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.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Hot
Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob
is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level that will not cause
burns if the area is touched. The light may remain on even
though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See Table on page 7 for recommended control settings.

cooled after they have been turned off . A hot surface indicator
light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before the indicator light has turned off .

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop
