Using Your Cooktop

Halogen/Radiant Cooktop

Make sure the pan rests flat on the glass cooktop and it is not resting on the trim. If you notice poor cooking performance, move the pan to make sure it is flat on the cooktop.

When the burner select knob points to BRIDGE, the LEFT knob controls both the left front surface unit and the bridge area.

Choose pans that match the circle/bridge area as closely as possible.

When the burner select knob points to FRONT, the LEFT knob controls the left front surface unit only.

NOTE: You can create an oblong heated area by using the left rear unit in addition to the front unit bridge combination.

Halogen surface units

You may notice that the knobs that operate the halogen surface units are slightly harder to turn than the knobs for the radiant surface units.

This is due to the difference in design between the two controls.

The lowest three settings will produce no visible evidence of the surface unit being on although up to 11% of the total wattage is being generated. On the lowest settings, the percentage of power may not cause the HOT SURFACE lights to glow. The UNIT ON indicator light will glow when either surface unit is on.

The surface UNIT ON light will glow for all positions except the OFF position.

If the halogen/radiant cooktop is connected to 208 volts, you will notice some increase in cooking times.

The ten-position halogen control produces the following variation in cooking power.
