Simmer Select Surface Unit Control
After turning a Radiant
Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to
touch either unit until it has had
enough time to COOL. Surface Units
will turn dark in color after they have
been turned off and burns may occur if
the units are touched at this time.
Do not place 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. Potholdere, towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to the unit.
When using the Simmer
Select feature the element will not glow
red when it is hot.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a
limiter that allows the element to cycle
on and off, even at the HI setting. This
helps to prevent damage to the
glasstop. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the pan is too
small for the element or if the pan
bottom is not flat.
To Operate
Radiant
Surface
Unit
1.
Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. The 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. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.
3.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing
the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off.
The hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob
is turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.
To Operate
Dual
Radiant
Surface
Unit (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only.
(_) Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during cooking. Push in and turn the Control Knob in
either direction to the desired setting as instructedabove.
To Operate
Simmer
Select
Surface
Unit (If equipped)
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unitas
you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature.
This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than
when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer
delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time
during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX
and MIN for simmering or between MED and I-IIfor normal cooking.
NOTE:
The unit will not operate if the knob is positionedin the space
between MAX and MED.
The suggested settingsfound in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
