Expandable radiant Element
The cooktop provides expandable radiant elements. Use the
following instructions when operating these elements.
Use the Element Size key (Figure 9) to select which portions of
the expandable element are needed for heating. The expand-
able element size may be changed anytime the element is ON.
This cooktop also has a double element on the right front to
accommodate two sizes of cookware.
To Operate the Expandable Radiant Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the expandable radiant
element.
2. To activate press and hold _ for the expandable element
until acceptance tone sounds.
3. Press Element Size key and toggle to select the single,
double, or triple (if available) expandable element size
setting. (Figure 9)
4. To set power level press Hi or Lo key and if needed toggle
the Hi or Lo keys to adjust to the desired power level setting.
Each touch of the Hi or Lo key pad will decrease or increase
the power level by 1/2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power
levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2
increments. Hi is the highest power level. Lo is the lowest
power level available.
5. Once cooking is finished, preSS_oo°F_to turn the expandable
element OFF.

Important notes:
For efficient cooking, start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. Turn off the element several minutes before
cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often
if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not flat.
• 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.
• Do not straddle cookware between two cooking surfaces
unless the cookware was designed for that purpose, such as
griddles.
