To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)

To Operate a Single Radiant Element:

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 (See illustration). 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 light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light 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 and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.
