About the Ceramic Glass Caaktap
The ceramic caaktap has radiant surface elements lacated belaw the surface
af the glass. The design of the ceramic caaktap outlines the area af the
surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter af the pan matches the
diameter af the element outline an the caaktap (See Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface af the caaktap ta the caakware.
Only fiat-battom caakware shauld be used. The type and size af caakware,
the number af surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that
will affect the amount af heat that will spread ta areas beyond the surface
elements. The areas surrounding the elements may became hat enough to
Cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually
and
evenly. As the temperature
rises, the element will glaw red. To maintain the selected setting, the dement
will cycle an and off. The heating element retains enough heat ta provide a
uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. Far efficient cooking, turn
aft the element several minutes befare cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat ta complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage
ratings. The ability ta heat faad quicker and in larger volumes increases as
the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are lacated an the caaktap as fallaws:
2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements lacated at the right and left rear pasitian;
- a dual 9 or 12 inch radiant element lacated at the right frant pasitian;

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allaws the element ta cycle
an and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage ta
the ceramic glass caaktap. Cycling at the HI setting is narmal and can
alsa accur if the caakware is too small far the radiant element ar if the
caakware battam is nat fiat (Refer ta page 10 far using correct caakware
