Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at the right front (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The • symbol indicates that only the inner

coil will heat (Figs. 1 and 3). The _) symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figs. 4 and 6). 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 (See Fig. 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for larger cookware.

. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. 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.

4.When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Note: See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have

		cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
Figure 3	Figure 6	may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
		touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element

The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig. 10). The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (Fig. 8). The symbol in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.
