About the radiant surface elements
The temperature of radiant surface elements rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises,
the radiant 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.
®
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the
HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting
is normal. It can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
