Setting Surface Controls
Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at
the right front (See Figure 1) position. The unit control knob area has
a dual set of graduations. For small utensils turn the control knob as
shown on figure 2; for larger utensils turn the control knob as shown
on figure 3. Only the inner surface of the unit heats when using it for
small utensils; the whole surface heats for large utensils, You may switch
between settings 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 counterclockwise (See
Figure 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure
3) for larger cookware.
3. 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,
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Note: The Surface Indicator light will come on when the
control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level,
The light may remain on even though the controls are
turned OFR
