a. Depending on the model, your appliance has either a storage drawer or a warming drawer.
Radiant Element | The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass ceramic surface to |
| provide the heat for cooking. The radiant element will cycle on and off by design |
| (see Temperature Limiter). |
Dual Element | The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating |
| area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be |
| selected for use, in order to better match the size of cookware. |
Triple Element | The triple element consists of three (small, medium and large) radiant ribbon ele- |
| ments within the same heating area. Either the small element, the small and |
| medium element or all three elements may be selected for use, in order to better |
| match the size of cookware. |
Bridge Element (some models) | The bridge element joins the front single element and the back single element to |
| create one long oblong element. It is designed for use with large cookware such |
| as long griddles and roasters. |
Retained Heat | The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have |
| been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving tempera- |
| tures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or |
| cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. |
Temperature Limiter | Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur- |
| face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by |
| cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting. |
| Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the |
| limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual: |
| • The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to |
| a warped or uneven base). |
| • The pan is too small for the element. |
| • The pan has boiled dry. |
| • The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat. |
Hot Surface Indicator | The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too |
| hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning |
| around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. |
Oven Racks | Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina- |
| tions: |
| • Three flat racks |
| • Two flat racks and one full extension rack |
| • Two flat racks and one half rack |
Flat Oven Racks | The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out |
| of the oven and not tilt. |
