Touch and hold the pad for the desired element position until a beep is heard.
The display will show " - ".
Note: If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the
element ON will clear.
3. Touch HI (2) pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo pad
once for Lo (See Figure 3). The Hot Surface indicator light will turn ON when the
element becomes hot.
Each touch of the HI or L o ( v ) pad will decrease or increase the power
level from 9.0 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2
will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available.
Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
When cooking has been completed touch the pad once to turn the element
OFF.
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.
Note: The Hot Element message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as the
element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.

 CAUTION I 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.
 CAUTION
I
Do not place plastic items such as 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 fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.
