SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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
Figure 5
). 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.

Control knob shown is typical only
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The Hot Element (HE)
message or the hot surface indicator 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 message
may remain on even though the controls are turned off.
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.
CAUTION
CAUTION
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.
The surface 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 surface elements are turned off.
