Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (
Figure 12) to the desired setting (refer to the
“Suggested radiant surface element settings” in
Tabl e 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot.
Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed (see
Figure 12).
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.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Tab le 1 below are based
on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Settings Type of Cooking
High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a
boil, pan broiling
Medium High (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat
fry
Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces
and gravies or steam vegetables
Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
Low (1) Low temperature cooking
Low (LO) Keep warm, melt
Table 1: Suggested radiant surface element settings
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.
IMPORTANT
Figure 12: Single element knob
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
• The Element ON indicator lights will turn on when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on
AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.
