Setting Surface Controls
Operating the Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has 2 (3 on 36" model) single radiant surface elements: the
LEFT REAR & RIGHT REAR (for 30" model) or LEFT REAR, CENTER REAR
& RIGHT REAR (for 36" model) positions (Figures 1 and 2).
To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to
the desired setting (Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting
if desired. 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. Note: The Hot
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 that will not cause
burns if the area is touched. The light may remain on even
though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See
Table on page 7 for recommended control settings.
_ Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface indicator
light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to
a moderate
level. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before the indicator light has turned off.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop
when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pothoiders,
towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY materlal
that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.
If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
