SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Dual Surface Radiant Element (some models)

The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface
elements. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate
which element of the dual radiant element will heat. The
symbol with the center circle blackened indicates that only
the inner coil will heat (See

Figure 6

). The symbol with both

elements blackened indicates that both inner and outer
elements will heat (See

Figure 6

). You may switch from

either element setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the inner element

symbol for smaller cookware or to inner and outer
element symbol for larger cookware (See

Figure 6

).

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.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control

knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The Hot Element (HE)
message or the hot surface indicator light will turn 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. The message
may remain on even though the controls are 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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain
cookware or any material that can melt to make contact
with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

The surface Element On indicator lights will glow when
one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
