SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single Radiant Element
The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the
left rear and left front elements, and the right rear element.
The left front element may also be used with the bridge
element. The triple element also has a single element
setting for smaller cookware.
To operate a single element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (See
Figure 6). 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.
Triple Surface (expandable) Element (some
models)
The expandable element can accommodate 6 inch, 9 inch,
or 12 inch cookware. The triple element is especially useful
for canning or heating large amounts of water.
To operate the triple surface element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the element size
that best fits the cookware. (See
Figure 7).
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 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.
4. When finished cooking, turn the control knob to OFF
before removing the cookware.
Figure 6: Control knob single surface element
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.
