Triple radiant surface element (some models)
Depending on your model, the cooktop may have a triple
radiant element. Indicator lights located on the backguard
show which portions of the triple radiant element are set to
heat. The symbol indicates only the inner coil will heat
and should be used for smaller cookware (Fig. 1). The
symbol indicates both inner and middle coils will heat and
may be used for medium to large cookware (Fig. 2). The
indicates that all 3 coils will heat together and should be
used for larger cookware (Fig. 3).
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.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
set to a lower setting to finish cooking. See the Suggested
power level settings table (provided in the instructions
for the single radiant elements).
To operate the triple radiant surface element:
Step
1. Place correctly sized cookware on
the dual radiant surface element.
2. Press and hold the on-off
for the desired element position
until a beep is heard.
3. Press the desired element size
(once for inner, twice for dual,
3 times for triple).
4. Press lo, med (5.0) or hi.
Each touch of the lo or hi pad will
decrease or increase the power
level by 1/2 from 9.5 through 3.0.
Simmer power levels between
3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase
by .2 increments. lo is the lowest
power level available.

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.
, ,
The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display
windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will
remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have
cooled sufficiently.
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.
You may switch element size settings at any time while
cooking.
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.
