EXPANDABLE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)
This heating unit adapts to both small and large heating utensils. The unit control dial has a
dual set of graduations. For small utensils use the left side of the control dial; for large utensils
the right. Only the inner surface of the unit heats when using it for small utensils; the whole
surface heats for large utensils. The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the
heating unit is turned ON.
Note: During any heat setting of the outer radiant element, the inner radiant element cycles on
and off with the outer element.
BRIDGE RADIANT HEATING UNITS (some models)

roaster, griddle or some other specialty pans.
To use the bridge element, turn the control knob on right side, to the bridge burner
graduations.
For full bridge element operation turn on the left rear burner.
To use only the front element, turn the control knob on left side, to the front burner
graduations.

Lights
Two different surface control lights will glow on your range: Surface Indicator Lights and Hot
Surface Indicator Lights.
• The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface unit
is turned on. A quick glance at the lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure all
surface controls are turned off.
• The hot surface indicators lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on as the
surface cooking area heats up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even though the controls are turned to
OFF.
