Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued)

Expandable Radiant Heating Units (some models) (continued)

To Operate the Expandable Element

Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only. Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the surface element control knob in either direction to the desired setting.

Each element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting, then turn to a lower setting to finish. A glowing red element extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the element. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

Halogen Heating Units (some models)

The halogen element is similar to the radiant element with the addition of a halogen lamp to the heating coil. The lamp immediately heats up and glows bright red when the element is turned on. Cook time is improved.

10-Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set in 10 different heating positions. Each position causes the element to operate continuously at a fixed power output ”MIN“ is the lowest setting, ”MAX“ is the highest.

Infinite Step Halogen Element (some models)

The control for this type of element can be set anywhere between positions ”MIN“ and ”MAX“.

Indicator Lights

There are 2 different surface control lights that will glow on your range—surface indicator lights and hot surface indicator lights.

The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at the lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

The hot surface indicator lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on as the surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even though the controls are turned to OFF.

Setting Warm Zone Control (some models)

To Operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature . Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.
