17 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Dual radiant surface elements (some models) Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements. To operate a dual radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements. If only the inner element is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise (see Figure 9). 3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to 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 "Table 1: Suggested settings for radiant elements" on page 16. CAUTION • Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element may still be hot and burns may occur if the element 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 elements. • Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Figure 9: Dual element knob settings IMPORTANT Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop. NOTES • 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 remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
