NOTE
See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on

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.
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned OFF. The hot surface
indicator light will turn ON and will continue to glow
until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate
level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns
may occur if the glass surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned OFF. The message may
remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
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.
Í
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.
