Dual radiant surface elements The cooktop provides 1 or 2 dual radiant surface elements, depending on your model type. Indicator lights located on the backguard show which portions of the dual radiant element are set to heat. The symbol indicates the inner coil only and should be used with smaller cookware (Fig. 1). The symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat together and may be used for larger cookware (Fig. 2). 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. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then set to a lower setting to finish cooking. See the Suggested power level settings table (provided in the instructions for the single radiant elements) To operate dual radiant surface elements: Step Press 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual radiant surface element. 2. Press and hold the on-off for the desired element position until a beep is heard. 3. Press the element size (once for inner or twice for both). 4. Press lo, med (5.0) or hi. ,, Each touch of the lo or hi pad will decrease or increase the power level by 1/2 from 9.5 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. lo is the lowest power level available. 5. Once cooking has completed, press on-off. NOTES You may switch element size settings at any time while cooking. 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. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS on cooktop on cooktop indicator light Fig. 1 indicator light Fig. 2 CAUTION 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 elements. IMPORTANT The HE (hot element) message will appear in the display windows once a heating element is turned OFF and will remain ON until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently. 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. 13
