Frigidaire FGEF306TMB Dual Surface Radiant Element, To Operate the Dual Surface Element

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

DUAL SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT

The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface elements located at the left front and the right front position (Figure 1). Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure 2). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element

1.Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.

2.Push in and turn the control knob to the inner coil symbol for smaller cookware (Figure 2) or to inner and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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.

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

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on surface 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.

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

NOTE

See Recommended Setting for Surface Element table on page 7.

CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have 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. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
