OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT

Both the 30” and 36” cooktops are equipped with “Triple” surface radiant elements located as shown in Figs. 1 & 2. A touch key pad on the element controls is used to select one of the 3 positions of the element. Indicator lights on the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the triple radiant element will heat. One indicator light on indicates that only the INNER coil will heat (Fig. 3). Two indicator lights on indicate that both INNER and MIDDLE coils will heat (Fig. 4). Three indicator lights on indicate that all 3 portions of the element will heat (Fig. 5). You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking.
