SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements
To operate radiant surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Fig. 1) to the desired setting (Refer to the
Suggested settings for radiant surface element
settings table
on the next page). 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 Fig. 1). 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 is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.

Dual radiant surface elements
(some models)
Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which
coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol
indicates settings for the inner element only. The
symbol indicates settings for both inner and outer
elements.
You may switch from either coil setting at any time during
cooking.
See
Suggested radiant surface element
settings table
on next page.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of
the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is
needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to start.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual 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
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed. 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.
