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.
Suggested Surface Control Settings

weight metal pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Note:
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will
