recommended setting for surface element
setting
type of cooking
HIGH (HI)
Start most foods; bring water to a boil 
and pan broiling.
MEDIUM HIGH
(7-8)
Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat 
frying.
MEDIUM (4-6)
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces 
and gravies; steaming vegetables.
MEDIUM LOW
(2 - 3)
Keep foods cooking; poaching and 
stewing.
LOW (LO)
Keep warm, melting and simmering.
note
ceramic glass cooktop only: 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 smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is 
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for 
the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
caution
do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper 
shakers,  spoon  holders  or  plastic  wrappings  on 
cooktop 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.
caution
do not allow aluminum foil, or anY material that 
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass 
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will 
damage the ceramic cooktop.
note
See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on

element provides a constant amount of heat at each 
setting. ceramic glass cooktop only: 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.
4.  When cooking has completed, turn the surface 
control knob to oFF before removing the 
cookware.
note
The “Hot surface” indicator lights will glow when the 
element is turned on and will continue to glow after the 
control knob is turned to the "OFF" position. It will glow 
until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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 message may remain on even 
though the controls are turned OFF.
