SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Triple radiant surface element (some models)

Depending on your model, the cooktop may have a triple radiant element. Indicator lights located on the backguard show which portions of the triple radiant element are set to

heat. The symbol indicates only the inner coil will heat

and should be used for smaller cookware (Fig. 1). The symbol indicates both inner and middle coils will heat and

may be used for medium to large cookware (Fig. 2). The indicates that all 3 coils will heat together and should be used for larger cookware (Fig. 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.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking. See the Suggested power level settings table (provided in the instructions for the single radiant elements).

CAUTION

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 flammable items such as plastic 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.

IMPORTANT

The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop.
