Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking
sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is keeping the
power level you set.
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on,
and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
Indicator light will;
■ come on when the unit is hot to the touch.
■ stay on even after the unit is turned off.
■ glow until the unit is cooled to approximately
150°F.
Be sure you turn the control knob to
OFF when you finish cooking.
Dual Surface Unit Control Knob
The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to
select from so you can match the size of the unit
to the size of the cookware you are using.
To use the small (6 inch) surface unit,
turn the control knob to the SMALL
BURNER
settings.
To use the large (9 inch) surface unit,
turn the control knob to the LARGE
BURNER
settings.
Temperature Limiter
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle
the units off for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball® and
Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
7 Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a build-up of heat that will damage
the cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
