Indicator lights (Some models)

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units, also some other models have an indicator light for all heating units.

The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.

When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights in an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned OFF.

When the heating unit is turned off, it will continue to glow as long as the glass remains warm enough to cause burns. Other models have a hot surface indicators per element arranged in a cluster. Their location is as shown in the illustration.

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant

Element (Specific Ceramic Glass Cooktop models only)

The cooktop is equipped with one or two dual radiant surface element. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The small digits on the control knob indicate that only the inner coil will heat (Fig. 1). The large digits on the control knobs indicate that both inner and outer coils will heat (Fig. 2). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element

1.Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.

2.Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure 1 for smaller cookware or in Figure 2 for larger cookware.

3.Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

4.When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Control knobs shown are typical only.
