Setting Dual Radiant Surface Elements - Frigidaire FGEF3030PFB Use & Care Manual

Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of
the dual radiant element to set. The o symbol indicates a
setting for the inner coil only. The ® symbol indicates a
setting for both inner and outer coils.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
.
.
Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise
(See Fig. 2) to begin heating both the inner and outer
portions of the dua! element. If only the inner heating
portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and
turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 1).
When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed. 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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting
at any time during cooking. See Suggested radiant
surface element settings table on previous page.

• 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 flammable items such as plastic 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 e!ements: ..................................................................................................................................................................
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or
more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these
indicator lights when finished cooking is an easy check
to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot
Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the
control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will
remain on until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
Do not allowaluminum foil, orANY material that can
melt to ma ke contact with the ceramic glass cooktop,
If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the
ceramiccooktop.
