Difference between halogen and radiant surface units

Although the radiant and halogen surface units cook very much alike, there are some differences:

Halogen units are much brighter than the radiant units. Radiant units have a dull red glow.

Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow as brightly as the outer halogen coils.

The halogen knob clicks in every position. The radiant clicks at OFF and HI.

The light of the radiant unit is visible at all “on” settings. The light of the halogen unit will not be visible at the three lowest settings although the unit will still be giving low heat.

Radiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow than halogen units.

The controls for the radiant surface units can be set anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings.With the infinite switch the coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from the OFF position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off, they may be turned without pushing down.

Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking.

You will feel a “click” at the OFF position.
