ELECTRIC COOKTOP OPERATION

CONTROL KNOBS

The placement of each knob corresponds to the place- ment of the heating element that it controls. To turn on any element, PUSH DOWN on the knob and TURN in either direction to the desired heat setting.

There are an infinite number of heat settings

between the LO and HI positions. Detents (fixed positions) are found at LO and HI to define minimum and maximum heat settings. The LO setting provides a very low heat for simmering foods such as spaghetti sauce and cooking Hollandaise sauce. With the option of using either gas and electric, you can move a pan from gas to electric (LO) for an even lower heat setting.

When the elements are turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass. The elements cycle on and off to keep the selected heat setting. Poor cookware causes the element to cycle on and off more often. (See Temperature Limiters on Page 8).

To turn ON the small, inner element only, press down on the control knob and turn it clockwise to a heat setting.

To turn ON both inner and outer elements

together, press down on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to a heat setting.

The element is in the off position when the indicator on the knob lines up with the word “OFF” and snaps into place. Align the indicator with the LO position. The dual element symbol and the inner element symbol are not heat settings.

RETAINED HEAT

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time.

SIGNAL LIGHTS

Element “ON” Signal Light

The element “ON” signal light glows whenever any element is turned on. The light remains lit until all of the elements are turned off.

The “ON” light is located on the right side and below the control knobs.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHTS

Whenever a cooking surface is too hot to touch, an indicator light will turn on automatically in the area marked Hot Surface. The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch tempera- ture. There is one Hot Surface Indicator light for each electric heating element.

If a Hot Surface Indicator light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop.
