Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the
element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for
ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General
Care & Cleaning
and Before You Call checklist
sections of this Use & Care Manual.

Lights
Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control
indicator lights that will glow on your range-- the Element ON indicator
light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (Refer to Fig. 2).

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant
element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance
at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are
turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when
any surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has
cooled to a MODERATE level.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON & 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.
Single
Radiant
Surface
Elements
(all models)
To Operate a Single Radiant Element:
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.
2.
Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting
(Refer to the Suggested
Radiant Surface Element Settings
Table & Fig. 3).
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and 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 and 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 complete turn the surface element OFF before removing the
cookware.

Note: The Element
ON indicator lights will glow when one or more of the surface
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights 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,

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 plastic items such as salt &
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.
