OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT

ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON

Both the 30” and 36” cooktops are equipped with a

“Triple” surface radiant element located at the center

rear position (See Figs. 1 & 2). A selector near the

control knob is used to select one of the 3 positions

of the element. The symbol (See Fig. 3) indicates

that only the inner element (See Fig. 6) will heat. The

symbol (See Fig. 4) indicates that both inner and

middle elements (See Fig. 7) will heat together. The

symbol (See Fig. 5) indicates that all 3 portions of

the element (See Fig. 8) will heat. You may switch

from either of these settings at any time during

cooking.

To Operate the Triple Surface

Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant

surface element.

2. Select the INNER, MIDDLE or ALL 3 elements to

heat by turning the selector knob (See Figs. 3, 4

& 5).

3. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction to the desired setting using the ESEC

digital display window for the desired setting (Fig.

9). Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the

cookware. 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. Also, the HE message will appear

in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on until

the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to be cooled after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element)

message 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.
