Setting Surface Controls
Surface Cooking Settings
Use the chart (Figure 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food
you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger
quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings
are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for
best cooking results.

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at location as shown on figure
1.
To Operate the Single Surface
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). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to
finish 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. Note: The Surface Indicator light will come on
when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until the
glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain
on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See above, for recommended control settings.
