Setting Surface Controls
Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
Your model is equipped with Dual radiant surface element in the right &left front positions (See Figure 1). Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the DUAL surface element (See Figure 3) and counterclockwise to turn on the SINGLE surface element (See Figure 2). You may switch from either setting at any time during cooking.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned off.
Do not place 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.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1.Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2.Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figure 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 3) for larger cookware.
3.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 Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned
OFF.
Note: See page 8, for recommended control settings.

Important notes:
•Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
•For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
•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.
•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 cooktop. 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 is not flat.
