NOTE
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 fi nished
is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are
turned off.
Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with 2 dual radiant surface
elements located at the left front (Figure 1) and the
right front (Figure 1) position. 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 4) or to inner
and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 4).
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 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.
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.
• 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.
