12 Setting Surface Controls OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON Fig. 1 ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON Fig. 2 Both the 30" and 36" cooktops are equipped with a "Triple" surface radiant element located at the center rear position (See Figs. 1 & 2). A selector near the control knob is used to select one of the 3 positions of the element. The symbol (See Fig. 3) indicates that only the inner element (See Fig. 6) will heat. The symbol (See Fig. 4) indicates that both inner and middle elements (See Fig. 7) will heat together. The symbol (See Fig. 5) indicates that all 3 portions of the element (See Fig. 8) will heat. You may switch from either of these settings at any time during cooking. Fig. 3 Fig. 6 LO OFF HI Fig. 9 To Operate the Triple Surface Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Element: Fig. 7 Fig. 8 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. 2. Select the INNER, MIDDLE or ALL 3 elements to heat by turning the selector knob (See Figs. 3, 4 & 5). 3. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting (Fig. 9). Turn (do not push) 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. 4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. 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.
