FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Operating the Triple Surface Radiant Control
Operating the TRIPLE Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a TRIPLE radiant surface element
located at the right front cooktop position {Fig. 1). Indicator
lights on the control panel at that position are used to indicate
what portions of the Triple radiant element will heat. The INNER
light indicates that only the inner element will heat. The
+MIDDLE light indicates that both inner and middle elements
will heat together. The ALL light indicates that all 3 portions of
the element will heat. You may switch between ail of these
different settings at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Triple Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Touch and hold the pad for the Triple element position until a beep
is heard. The display will show " - - ".
NOTE; Each time a pad is touched a beep will sound, if no further pads
are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will
clear.
3. Select the INNER (See Fig. 2), +MIDDLE {See Fig. 3) or ALL 3 elements
{See Fig. 4) to heat by pressing the pad once, twice or three times
{Figs. 4 & 5 shows indicator lights with ALL 3 elements selected).
Touch the Triple element hi pad once to turn ON the power level HI
or Lo(^^v^ pad once for Lo (See Fig. 4). The Hot Surface indicator light
will turn ON when the element becomes hot.
Each touch of the lo or hi pad will decrease or increase the
power 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 is the lowest
power level 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 once to turn the
element OFF.
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.
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 Triple element is turned
ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9, Fig. 1 for
recommended surface cooking settings.

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.
