Operating the Double Element (some models)
The cooktop is equipped with Double radiant surface elements
(See Fig. 1). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position
are used to indicate what portions of the double radiant element
will heat. The
INNER light indicates that only the inner element
will heat. The OUTER light indicates that both inner and outer
elements will heat together.
To Operate the Double Surface Elements:

(See Fig.4). The
Hot Surface
indicator light will
turn ON when the element becomes hot.

level by 1 /2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.0
will decrease or increase by .2 increments.
Lo

available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the
element is ON.
6. When cooking has been completed touch the pad
element OFF.
Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
Agiowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of
the cookware indicates the cookware is
too small
for the surface heating
area.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still
hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
Note: If no element size is choosen when the Double element is turned ON,
the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 11, Fig. 1 for
recommended surface cooking settings.
A caution
___________ 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.
