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. 2) 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 counter-clockwise (See Fig. 1).

3.When cooking is complete, 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 during cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element settings table on previous page.

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 melttomakecontactwiththeceramicglasscooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will 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 finished cooking 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 remain on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
