COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a 
setting. The controls can be set anywhere between HI and “0” 
(OFF).
On models with Ceramic Glass, the controls work on the principle 
of percent on, percent off. When the control is turned to setting 5, 
the element will be on 50% of the time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Power On Lights
The Power On lights beside the control knobs indicate which 
surface elements are turned on. A Power On light will glow when 
its corresponding surface element is turned on.
Elements
Quick Light Radiant Heating Elements
The quick light radiant heating elements are designed for fast 
heat response. You can see them light up in just seconds. These 
elements consist of a set of special heater coils embedded in a 
thermal insulation material. You may notice the element going on 
and off a number of times during use. This is a normal 
occurrence.
Simmer Element (on some models)
The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the 
element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for 
preparation of foods that require very low heat such as sauces, 
chocolate or cheese.
Warming Element
(on ceramic glass models)
Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour 
is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the 
other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming 
Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its 
indicator light will glow as long as the Warming Element area is 
too hot to touch.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and 
cooktop use.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming 
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture 
to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
You might want to use pot holders or oven mitts to remove 
cookware.
To Use:
1. Set switch to ON. The light will glow red.
2. Set switch to OFF when finished.
