Operating the Triple Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a Triple radiant
surface element located at the right front cooktop
position (Figures 1 & 2). Indicator lights on the
control panel at that position are used to indicate
what portions of the Triple radiant element will heat.
The 0 light indicates that only the inner element
will heat. The @ light indicates that both inner and
double elements will heat together. The _d_ light
indicates that all 3 portions of the element will
heat. You may switch between all of these different
settings at any time during cooking.
