Setting Surface Contro&

Dual radiant surface element (some models)

To operate the dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to

begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the

element (marked dual - See Fig. 2). If only the inner

heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 1) for

smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-

clockwise to start.

Please note that you may switch from the single or dual settings at any time during cooking.

3.When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Important notes:

°For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

°The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface element settings table for suggested power level settings.

°Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and

then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI

setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic

smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will

occur more often if the cookware is too small for the

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.
