Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter. The
temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the
setting you want.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position.
You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-
iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined
with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the
surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are
available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain
cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
