Halogen/Radiant Component

Component Cooktop System

Halogen surface unit

The controls selected for the halogen/radiant component will give you a full range of heat settings for cooking.

The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off (0), they may be turned without pushing down.

You may notice that the knob that operates the halogen surface unit is slightly harder to turn than the knob for the radiant surface unit. This is due to the difference in design between the two controls.

NOTE:

•The lowest three settings will produce no visible evidence of the surface unit being on although up to 11% of the total wattage is being generated. On the lowest settings, the percentage of power may not cause the hot surface lights to light. An indicator light near the control knobs will glow when either surface unit is on.

•The burner “on” light will glow for all positions except the off position.

The eleven position halogen control produces the following variation in cooking power.

If the halogen/radiant component is connected to 208 volts, you will notice some increase in cooking times.

Radiant surface unit

The control for the radiant surface unit is an infinite switch that 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 (0) position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off (0), they may be turned without pushing down.

Be sure you turn the control knob off (0) when you finish cooking. You will feel a “click” at the off position.
