CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fi re if placed too close to the surface elements.
CAUTION
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
DUAL SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface
elements located at the right front position (Figure 1).
Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil
of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol
indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure 2). The
symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will
heat (Figure 3). You may switch from either coil 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 coil
symbol for smaller cookware (Figure 2) or to inner
and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 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 fi nish 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.

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
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
indicator light may remain on even though the controls
are turned OFF.
