Dual
Surface
Radiant
Element
(all models)
The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface
elements located at the left front
(Figures l& 2) and
the right front
(Figure 2) or the right rear (Figure 3)
position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate
which coil of the dual radiant element
will heat. The o
symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure
4). The ® symbol indicates
that both inner and outer
coils will heat (Figure 5). You may switch from either coil
setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate
the Dual Surface Element
1.
Place correctly sized cookware
on the dual surface
element.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob to the inner coil
symbol for smaller cookware (Figure 4) or to inner
and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 5).
Turn 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 surface "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 surface elements
are
turned off.
