Before Setting Surface Controls

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the 
temperature rises, the 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.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with 
different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and 
in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases. 
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as 
follows: (

Figure 3

)

Two smaller 

7 inch

 radiant elements located at the right 

and left rear position and a bridge element.

An expandable 

6 , 9 or 12 inch

 element located at the 

right front position;

warmer zone

 at the center rear od the cooktop.

A single 

6 inch 

element at the right rear of the cooktop.

Important: When any cooktop element is turned on the Element 
On indicator light will glow. When the surface becomes very hot 
the Hot Element indicator light will glow and remain on until the 
cooktop element has cooled to a safe temperature.

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal 
and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant 
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 9 
for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home 
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United 
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read 
all the information they have available as well as follow their 
recommendations for home canning procedures.

Tips and procedures for canning foods:

Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning. 
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges 
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning 
using a ceramic cooktop.

Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 
inch beyond the surface element markings or element. It is 
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric 
coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to 
bring water to boil more quickly.

Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water 
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest 
possible setting to maintain that boil.

Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two 
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This will 
cause uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic 
cooktop to fracture.

(White glass cooktops only) Due to the high intensity of 
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface 
will turn light green when the element is first turned off. This 
phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its 
original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Important note: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic 
glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section 
and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care 
Guide.
