SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual Surface Radiant Element (all models)

The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface elements located at the left front and the right front or the right rear position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol with the center circle blackened indicates that only the inner coil will heat (See Figure 9). The symbol with both coils blackened indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (See Figure 9). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element: CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. HE (Hot Element) message or the hot surface indicator light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned off.

Figure 9: Inner coil operation (L) and inner/outer coil operation (R) CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

Manual background CAUTION

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Manual background NOTE

The surface "Element On" indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

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

2.Push in and turn the control knob to the inner coil symbol for smaller cookware or to inner and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (See Figure 9). 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.

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