Setting Surface Controls - IKEA LAGAN Manual

SETTING SUrfACE CONTrOLS

Dual radiant surface elements
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which
portion of the dual radiant element to set. The
symbol indicates a setting for the inner element
only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner
and outer elements.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clock-
wise to begin heating both the inner and outer
elements. If only the inner element is needed
for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counter-clockwise.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF
before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The surface control knobs do not have to be set ex-
actly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed.
A glowing red surface heating area extending be-
yond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
You may switch from either single or dual element
setting at any time during cooking. See"Table 1:
Suggested settings for radiant elements" on page

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The element may
still be hot and burns may occur if the element is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls
or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

IMpOrTANT
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.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on
AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.
