SINGLE RADIANT SURFACE ELEMENTS
The cooktop has 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the
left rear position, the left front position and the right
rear position (Figure 1).
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 (Figure 2). Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to fi nish 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.

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 fi re 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.
Figure 2 - Control knob shown is typical only.
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
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
indicator light may remain on even though the controls
are turned OFF.
