SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The 
symbol indicates a setting for the inner coil only. The 
symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer coils.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1.Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface element.
2.Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise (See Fig. 1) to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
3.When finished cooking, turn the dual radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting

at any time while cooking. For power level recommendations see the suggested power level settings for single or dual radiant elements provided on the page for single element instructions.
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
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the cooktop when hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTES
•The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
•The 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 control knobs are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
