Dual radiant surface elements
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion
of the dual radiant element to set. The
a setting for the inner coil only. The
setting for both inner and outer coils.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
(See Fig. 2) to begin heating both the inner and outer
portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating
portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and
turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant
surface element 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 beyond 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 table on previous page.
CAUTION
• 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 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.
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 Surface indicator light will continue to glow
AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position
and will remain on until the heating surface area has
cooled sufficiently.
