Operating Triple Radiant Surface Elements
The triple radiant element has three element portions and
may be set to heat as 1 (single), 2 (double), or 3 (triple)
element portions together.
F_r=_T_ 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 plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or pHasfic wrappings on fop
of the range when if 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Important notes:
* For efficient cooking, turn off: the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. Refer to chart above for suggested power level
settings.
® Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
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 smooth
top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur
more often if cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not fiat.
* A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cool<ware indicates the cookware is
too small for the surface heating area.
To Operate the Triple Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating all, the inner, middle and outer portions
of the element (Marked triple = see figure 1). If the two
inner heating portions are needed turn the knob at
position marked double (Marked double = see figure
2). If only inner heating portion is needed for smaller
cookware, push in and turn the knob counterclockwise
(Marked single = see figure 3).
Note: You may switch from the single, double or triple
settings at any time during cooking. Please note that all
three portions will adjust to the same power level.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
