Setting Surface Controls
•Operating the Triple Surface Radiant Control
Operating the Triple Element (some models)
The cooktop is equipped with a TRIPLE radiant surface element located at the right front cooktop position (See Fig. 1). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are used to indicate what portions of the Triple radiant element will heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner element will heat. The +MIDDLE light indicates that both inner and middle elements will heat together. The ALL light indicates that all 3 portions of the element will heat. You may switch between all of these different settings at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Triple Surface Element:

1.Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.Touch and hold the 
pad for the Triple element position until a beep is heard. The display will show " - - ".
NOTE: Each time a pad is touched a beep will sound. If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.
3. Select the INNER (See Fig. 2), +MIDDLE (See Fig. 3) or ALL 3 elements
(See Fig. 4) to heat by pressing the 
pad once, twice or three times (See Figs. 4 & 5 show indicator lights with ALL 3 elements selected).
4. Touch the Triple element 
pad once to turn ON the power level Hi or
pad once for Lo (See Fig. 4). The Hot Surface indicator light will turn ON when the element becomes hot.
5. Each touch of the 
or 
pad will decrease or increase the power
level by 1/2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.0 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
6. When cooking has been completed touch the | pad once to turn the |
|
element OFF. |

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. | Fig. 5 | |
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still | ||
hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. |
| |
Note: If no element size is choosen when the Triple element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 11, Fig. 1 for recommended surface cooking settings.
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 aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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.
