Setting Surface Controls

To Operate Radiant Surface Elements
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See
Fig.1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting & then turn to a lower
setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide & adjust the control knob as needed.
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 is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing the
cookware. Note: the Element ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements
are turned ON. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator
light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position & will
glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight
metal pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Note: The size
