To Operate the Single 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 using the
ESEC digital display window for the desired setting (Fig. 2). Turn the knob to adjust the
setting if desired. 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. Note: The Surface Indicator light will
come on when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow
until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light
may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

Note: See Figure 1 on page 8 for recommended control settings.
