Setting Surface Controls 11 OPERATING THE DUAL SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENTS Both the 30" and 36" cooktops are equipped with dual radiant surface elements located at the right & left front positions (See Figs. 1 & 2). Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Fig. 3). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Fig. 4). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON Fig. 1 ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON Fig. 2 To Operate the Dual Surface Element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element. 2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figs. 3 & 5) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 4 & 6) for larger cookware to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. 3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting as 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. Fig. 3 HI OFF HI LO LO Fig. 5 Fig. 4 HI OFF HI LO LO Fig. 6 Note: The surface "Element On" indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off. Also, the HE message will appear in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. CAUTION Radiant surface elements may appear to be cooled after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element) message will turn 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. NOTE See the Recommended Setting for Surface Elements chart, on page 8, to make the correct setting.
