Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

Fig. 3

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on radiant surface element.

2. Push in & turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting

(Refer to the Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table & Fig. 3).

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to

finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a

particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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 is complete turn the surface element OFF before removing the

cookware.

Note: The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more of the surface

elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is

finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface

indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position

& will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The glass

surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Element ON & Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control

indicator lights that will glow on your range— the Element ON indicator

light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (Refer to Fig. 2).

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for

ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General

Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist

sections of this Use & Care Manual.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON & OFF, even

at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling at the

HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and

evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will

glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the

element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating

element retains enough heat to provide a uniform

and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

LIGHT

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant

element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance

at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are

turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when

any surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has

cooled to a MODERATE level.

Setting Surface Controls (cont’d)

DO NOT place plastic items such as salt &

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.
