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 plastic items such as 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty
glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop
.
If
these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the
ceramic cooktop.
Dual radiant surface element
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the
element (marked dual - See Fig. 3). If only the inner
heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 2)
for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counterclockwise to start.
Please note that you may switch from the single or dual
settings at any time during cooking.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.

Single radiant surface elements
To operate a single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant
surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (See Fig. 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Important notes:
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
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. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface
element settings table for suggested power level
settings.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
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.
