NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the Hi setting. This helps to
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.

Operating
Single
Radiant
Surface
Elements
(all models)
Depending on your model, your cooktop is equipped with 2, 3 or 4 Single Radiant Surface Elements.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 1). Turn the knob to adjust the
setting ifdesired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish 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 Surface
Indicator light located on the control panel will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See Figure 6 on page 10 for recommended control settings.

(some models)
Model A isequipped with 1 Dual Radiant Surface Element at right front position
(See Figure 2). Model B isequipped with 2 dual radiant surface element located
at the right front and left front positions (See Figure 3). Symbols on the control
panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The O
indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figures 2, 3 and 4). The (_
symbol
symbol indicatesthat both innerand outer coils will heat (Figu res 5, 6 and 7). You
may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To
Operate
the Dual
Surface
Element:
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise
(See Figure 4) for
smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 7) for larger cookware.
3.
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations
on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish 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 istoo small for the surface heating area.
4.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before
removing the cookware. Note: The Surface Indicator light located on the
control panel will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will
continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate

if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
