Single radiant surface elements
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface ele-
ment.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in ei-
ther direction to the desired setting (refer to the
"Suggested radiant surface element settings" in
Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant sur-
face element OFF before removing the cookware.
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 ex-
actly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided
as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cook-
ware is too small for the surface heating area.

types of pans.

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The element may
still be hot and burns may occur if the element is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls
or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain
on AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF"
position and will stay on until the heating surface
area has cooled sufficiently
