SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Triple Surface Radiant Element (some models)

Some cooktops are equipped with a triple radiant surface element. Symbols around the knob indicate which element will heat. The symbol with the center circle blackened indicates that only the inner coil will heat. The symbol with two elements blackened indicates that both elements will heat. The symbol with three elements blackened indicates that all three elements will heat (See Figure 10.) You may switch from either setting at any time during cooking.

Figure 10: Single (L), double (M), and Triple (R) 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.

To Operate the Triple Surface Element: 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 Triple Surface Element:

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

2.Push in and turn the control knob to the inner element symbol for smaller cookware or to inner and outer element symbol for larger cookware (See Figure 11). 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.To activate and use the triple element, push in and turn the knob to the left for the outer element symbol for larger cookware. Push the Triple Zone switch to the ON position (See Figure 11).

4.When cooking has completed, push the Triple Zone switch to the OFF position and turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Figure 11: Triple radiant element 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.
