Operating the Dual Surface Element

The cooktop is equipped with a Dual radiant surface
element located at the right front cooktop position (Figure
1). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are
used to indicate what portions of the Dual radiant element
will heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner
element will heat (Figure 2). The OUTER light indicates
that both inner and outer elements will heat together
(Figure 3). You may switch between these different
settings at any time during cooking.	Figure 1

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

1.	Place	correctly sized			cookware on the radiant surface element.		Figure 3
,	Touch	and	hold the		pad for the Dual element position until a beep
	is heard. The display will show " - - ". Note: If no further pads are touched
	within 10 seconds			the request to power the element ON		will clear.
3.	Select	the	INNER	(Figure 2) or OUTER (both elements)		(Figure 3) to heat
			ELEM""_T
	by pressing		the _		pad once or twice (Figures 3 & 4 show indicator
	lights with OUTER selected). Note: If no element size is chosen when the						HI
	dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only.
4.	Touch	HI _-_		pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo			OUTER

(_pad once for Lo (See Figure 4).

5.	Each touch of the HI _			or Lo _	pad will	increase or decrease
	power levels from g.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels
	between 3.0 and 1.2 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.					Figure 4
,	When	cooking	has been completed		touch the	pad once to turn the
	entire	element	OFF.
	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.

Note: The Hot Surface message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as the element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. But 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.
