hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may

damage the ceramic cooktop.

• 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.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or

wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

The suggested settings found in Fig.1  below are based

with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and

type of food being cooked will influence the setting

needed for best cooking results.

• The element  on indicator lights will glow when one or

more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these

indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy

check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The

hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER

the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will

glow until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on a single radiant

surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction (Fig. 2) to the desired setting (See the

radiant elements in Fig. 1).

3. When finished cooking, turn the radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs

do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the

graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as

needed.
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.
