models)
The surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you
can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware
you are using.
(3) Location of the radiant surface elements and controls
The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface
elements on the cook top as shown below.

AFTER
COOKING
Do not touch the surface units until they have
cooled down.
The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur
if you touch the glass surface before it has cooled
down sufficiently.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to
prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the
cooking surface, make sure that the items are
infrequently used and can be safely stored in an
area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be
unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or
aerosol sprays.
(6) About the radiant surface elements
The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the radiant element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on
and off. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off
cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE
Radiant
elements
have
a
limiter
that
allows
the
element
to
cycle
ON
and
OFF,
even
at
the
HI
setting.
This
helps
to
prevent
damage
to
the
ceramic
cook
top.
Cycling
at
the
HI
setting
is
normal
and
can
occur
if
the
cookware
is
too
small
for
the
radiant
element
or
if
the
cookware
bottom
is
not
flat.
