LOCATIONS OF THE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENTS
Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface burners with 4 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows (See Figure):
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear positions;
- 2 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the right and left front positions;
- 2 7 inch radiant elements located at both the center front and rear position;
- one Bridge radiant element located between center front and rear elements.
SURFACE COOKING SETTINGS
Use the chart 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.
