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 6) 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 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 6).
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.
Settings Type of Cooktop
High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring
water to a boil, pan broil-
ing
Medium High (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry,
deep fat fry
Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil,
thicken sauces and gra-
vies or steam vegetables
Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking,
poach, stew
Low (1) Low temperature cooking
Low (LO) Keep warm, melt

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The ele-
ment may still be hot and burns may occur if the
element is touched before it has cooled sufciently.
Do not place 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, tow-
els, or wooden spoons could catch re if placed too
close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls
or reector pans. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or re.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will in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 nished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator 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ciently
