dual radiant surface elements (some
models)
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
clockwise 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 (see Figure 10) .
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
exactly 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 "Suggested
radiant surface element settings" on page 14 .
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 .
nOTES
•
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 Sur-
face indicator light will remain on AFTER the
control knob is turned to the "OFF" position
and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently .
