Operating the Dual Surface Element

The cooktop is equipped with a Dual radiant surface

element located at the right front cooktop position (Figure 1).							@_	INNER
Indicator		lights on the control panel		at that position are	used			OUTER (_
to indicate		what portions	of the Dual	radiant element will
heat. The INNER light indicates that				only the inner element				Figure 2
will heat (Figure 2). The OUTER light indicates that both							qlP	OUTER
inner and outer elements will heat together (Figure 3). You
						Figure 1
may switch between these different				settings at any time			_,o	INNER
during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:								Figure 3
1.	Place	correctly sized	cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.	Touch and hold the		pad for the Dual element		position until a beep is
	heard. The display will show " - - ". Note: If no further pads are touched within
	10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.

3.If the pan sensing feature is off, select the INNER (Figure 2) or OUTER (both

elements) (Figure 3) to heat by pressing tne _		paa once or twice times
(Figures 3 & 4 show indicator lights with OUTER selected). Note: If no			A	:,
element size	is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will
default to the inner coil only. If the pan sensing feature is on, the element size				@ _	OUTER
key is disabled and the appropriate element size is automatically selected
according to the pan size.		Lo		@ _	INNER

levels from 9.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels between

3.0and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available.

Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.

6. When	cooking	has been completed touch the	pad once to turn the	Figure 4
entire	element	OFF.

Each dual surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. The different glow of the 2 elements is normal and doesn't affect heating performance (See Figure 3). 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.

Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9 for recommended surface cooking settings.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or 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.
