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.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

set to a lower setting to finish cooking. The suggested

power level settings found in Fig. 1 are based when cooking

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.
