SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface ele-
ment.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in
either direction (Figure 1) to the desired setting
(refer to the "Suggested radiant surface element
settings" in Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant
surface element OFF before removing the cook-
ware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to fi nish cooking.
The surface control knobs do not have to be set ex-
actly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided
as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed
(see Figure 9).
A glowing red surface heating area extending be-
yond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are
based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.

CAUTION
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The
element may still be hot and burns may occur
if the element is touched before it has cooled
suffi ciently.
• Do not place fl ammable 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 fi re if placed too close to the surface ele-
ments.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip
bowls or refl ector pans. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fi re.
NOTE
• The size and type of utensil used and the
amount and type of food being cooked will
infl uence 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 fi nished
cooking is an easy check to be sure all control
knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indica-
tor light will remain on AFTER the control knob
is turned to the "OFF" position and will stay on
until the heating surface area has cooled suf-
fi ciently.
