Surface Control Settings
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type 
of food being cooked will influence the surface element 
power level setting needed for best cooking results.
Use 
 to determine the correct setting for the type of 
food you are preparing. 
Single Radiant Surface Elements (some models)
The cooktop has two or three single radiant surface 
elements: the left rear position, the right rear position. The 
left rear element may also be used with the bridge element.
To operate the single radiant surface elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface 
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either 
direction to the desired setting (See 
). Start 
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then 
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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 for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control 
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
The size and type of cookware used will influence the 
setting needed for best cooking results.
Table 1:
Recommended settings for surface elements
Setting
Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI)
Start most foods; bring water to a boil and 
pan broiling.
MEDIUM 
HIGH (8-10)
Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat 
frying
MEDIUM (6)
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and 
gravies; steaming vegetables
MEDIUM 
LOW (2-4)
Keep foods cooking; poaching and 
stewing
LOW (LO)
Keep warm, melting and simmering
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and 
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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. Never straddle cookware 
between two surfaces unless designed for that purpose.
Do not place plastic items such as 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain 
cookware or any material that can melt to make contact 
with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the 
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTE
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled 
after they have been turned off. The hot surface light will 
turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop 
has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface 
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface 
is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

The surface 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. Refer to
