Setting Surface Controls

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
This model is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the left and right front (See Figure 4) position.
Symbols around the control knob are used to indicate which
coil of the dual radiant element will heat. You may switch
from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise
(See Figure 1) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See
Figure 3) for larger cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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
Surface Indicator light will come on when the control
knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light
may remain on even though the controls are turned
OFF.
Note: See page 9, Figure 1 for recommended control
settings.
Radiant surface elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface
indicator light will come 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 before the indicator light has turned
off.
