Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the RIGHT REAR position
LEFT FRONT position and the LEFT REAR position (Figure 1).
To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Touch and hold the
heard. The display will show " -- ".
Note: If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power
the element ON will clear.
3. Touch HI pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo
pad once for Lo (See Figure 3). The Hot Surface indicator light will turn ON
when the element becomes hot.
4. Each touch of the HI
power level from 9.0 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the
lowest power level available.
Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
5. When cooking has been completed touch the
element OFF.
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.
Note: The Hot Surface message will remain displayed on the control panel as
long as the element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they
have been turned off. The glass surface may still 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.
