Single
radiant
surface
elements
(all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested radiant su rface element
settings table
Fig. 1). 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 spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed (See Fig. 2). 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 radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.

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 flammable
items such as plastic salt and
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.

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
The On indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light 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 and will glow until
the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
