Operating the Triple Surface Radiant Control

Operating the Triple Element (some models)

The cooktop is equipped with a TRIPLE radiant surface element located at the right front cooktop position (See Fig. 1). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are used to indicate what portions of the Triple radiant element will heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner element will heat. The +MIDDLE light indicates that both inner and middle elements will heat together. The ALL light indicates that all 3 portions of the element will heat. You may switch between all of these different settings at any time during cooking.

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.
