The Elements / Setting the Controls
Radiant Elements
Bosch UltraSpeedTM radiant elements use a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface to provide the heat for cooking.These radiant elements will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature Limiters, below.) There are 9 heat setting positions from 9 (high) to 1 (low) and a special setting for keep warm.
4. Turn the mTwisT dial to the desired setting.
To the right (clockwise) starts with heat setting
1(low).
To the left (counterclockwise) starts with heat setting 9 (high).
Turn the dial until the desired heat setting is displayed.
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, depending on the size of cookware. (See page 7.)
Temperature Limiters
Each UltraSpeed heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element on and 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 size of the element.
•The pan has boiled dry.
•The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
