surface element located at the left front (See
Figures I & 2) position. Symbols on the control knob
area are used to indicate which coil of the dual
radiant element wiii heat. The • indicates that only
the inner coil wiii heat (Figure 3). The (_) indicates

You may switch between settings at any time during
cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Eiemenh
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Figure 3) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure
4) for larger cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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.
4. 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 on previous page the table for recommended
control settings.
