SETTING RADIANT SURFACE CONTROLS
NOTE
See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on
page 7.
Operating the Single Surface Radiant
Elements
The cooktop has 1 or 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements:
the LEFT REAR position and the center rear position (on
the 36” model only). The left rear element may also be
used with the Bridge element (Figures 1 and 2).
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 3).
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to
OFF
before removing the cookware.

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.
CAUTION
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.
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.
