Setting Surface Controls - Frigidaire Range Use & Care Manual

SINGLE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS
The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the
left rear position and the right rear position (Figure 1).
To Operate the Single Radiant 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 2). Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to fi nish 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
See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on
page 7.
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
surface when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fi re if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
surface. If these items melt on the surface they will
damage the ceramic surface.
