Each dual surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. The different glow of the 2 elements is normal and doesn't affect heating performance (See Figure 3). 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.

Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9 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.
