located at the rightfront (See Figure 3) position. Symbols on
thecontrol panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual
radiant element willheat. The @symbol indicates that only
the inner coil will heat (Figures 3, 4 and 5). TheO symbol
indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 6, 7
and 8). You may switch from either coil setting atany time
