Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface elements
located at the right front (See Figure 2 & 4) position. "Single
and Dual" on the control knob are used to indicate which coil of
the dual radiant element will heat. "Single" indicates that only
the inner coil will heat (Figures 1 & 2). "Dual" indicates that
both inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 3 & 4). You may
switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

Figure 2 Figure 4
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Figure 1) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure
3) for larger cookware.
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 cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has
cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFR
Note: See "Recommended Settings for Single and Dual Surface Elements" for recommended control settings.
Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The Warm & Ready TM zone radiant element is located at the center rear position (Figure
6). The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It
is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For
best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow
moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or
aluminum may melt onto the surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended by the item manufacturer for oven
and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
WARMER ZONE
To Set the Warmer Zone Control:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Warm & Ready TM zone surface element.
2. Press in the Warmer Zone push button (Figure 5).
3. When ready to serve, push out the Warmer Zone button.
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 or burners.
