Radiant

have
a iimiter
that
allows
the radiant

to cycle
ON
and
OFF, even
at the
HI

This
helps
prevent
damage
to the ceramic

Cycling
at the
HI

is normal
and
will
occur
more
often
if the cookware
is too small
for the
radiant
element
or if the cookware
bottom
is not fiat.
* 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.
Radiant
