Both the 30" and 36" cooktops are equipped with a
"Triple" surface radiant element located at the center
rear position (See Figs. 1 & 2). A selector near the
control knob is used to select one of the 3 positions
of the element. The symbol (See Fig. 3) indicates
that only the inner element (See Fig. 6) will heat. The
symbol (See Fig. 4) indicates that both inner and
middle elements (See Fig. 7) will heat together. The
symbol (See Fig. 5) indicates that all 3 portions of
the element (See Fig. 8) will heat. You may switch
from either of these settings at any time during
cooking.
