Single radiant surface elements

The cooktop has 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the

left rear position (Figure 1) 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

The surface "Element On" indicator lights will glow

when one or more elements are turned on. A quick

glance at these indicator lights when cooking is ﬁ nished

is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are

turned off.

NOTE

See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on

page 8.

CAUTION

•

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on cooktop 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 cooktop. If these items melt on

the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.
