Setting Surface Controls
Operating
the Single
Radiant
Surface
The cooktop has 2 or 3 SINGLE radiant surface
elements: the RIGHT REAR position and the LEFT
REAR position, and the center rear position (on the 36"
model only). The left rear element may also be used with
the Bridge element (Figures 1 and 2).

To Operate
the Single Radiant
Surface Elements
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure
3).
3.
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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 HE message will appear in the display after turning the
control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on until the heating surface area has
cooled sufficiently. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See Table on previous page for recommended control settings.
Figure 2
Figure 3
Radiant surface elements may appear to be cooled after they have been turned OFF. H E (Hot Element)
message will turn ON and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass
surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched until the HE message goes off.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on
cooktop
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 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.
