Dual Radiant
Surface
Elements
(some models)
Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which coil of the Dual
Radiant element will heat. The o symbol indicates the inner coil only. The
@ symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat (See Figs. 1, 2 &
Suggested
Radiant Surface Element Settings
Table). You may switch
from either coil setting at any time during cooking. Push in & turn the control
knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed above. Note:
Surface areas that heat are shown in black.
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 plastic items such as salt & 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.
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.

Setting
the Warming
Zone (some models)
Fig. 1
Fig.2
The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone.
All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when
warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover
food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean from the cooktop
surface.
Use only dishware, utensils & cookware recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use on the Warming Zone.
