SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual radiant surface elements
Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which
coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The
indicates the inner coil only. The
inner and outer coils will heat.
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
to begin heating both the inner and outer portions of
the dual element. If only the inner heating portion is
needed like for smaller cookware, push in and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to start.
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 coil 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 cooking is finished 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 glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
