Setting Surface Controls (cont'd) Operating the Dual Surface Element The cooktop is equipped with a Dual radiant surface element located at the right front cooktop position (Figure 1 ). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are used to indicate what portions of the Dual radiant element will heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner element will heat (Figure 2). The OUTER light indicates that both inner and outer elements will heat together (Figure 3). You may switch between these different settings at any time during cooking. Figure 1 @ OUTER @÷ INNER Figure 2 OUTER INNER To Operate the Dual Surface Element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. , Touch and hold the pad for the Dual element position until a beep is heard. The display will show " - - ". Note: If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear. 3. Select the INNER (Figure 2) or OUTER (both elements) (Figure 3) to heat ELEE_M""_T by pressing the _ pad once or twice (Figures 3 & 4 show indicator lights with OUTER selected). Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. 4. Touch HI _-_ pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo (_pad once for Lo (See Figure 4). 5. Each touch of the HI _ or Lo _ pad will increase or decrease power levels from g.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON. Figure 3 HI ,oCf v) y OUTER INNER Figure 4 , When cooking has been completed touch the pad once to turn the entire element OFF. Each dual surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. The different glow of the 2 elements is normal and doesn't affect heating performance (See Figure 3). 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. Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9 for recommended surface cooking settings. Note: The Hot Surface message will remain displayed on the control panel as long as the element is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. But 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 aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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. 10
