Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may stilt 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 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
Single
Radiant
Surface
Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 3) and teft rear (Fig. 4) element
positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single element (See Bridge Element Operating Instructions
on pages 8 - 9).
TO Operate the Single Surface
Elements:
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Fig. 4). The Element On
light will come on. Turn (do not push) 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.
3.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. The
Element On light will turn off. The Hot Surface light will
remain on until the cooktop surface has cooled.
Note: See Figure 1 above for recommended control
settings.
