Depending on the model, your appliance has either a storage drawer or a warming drawer. Radiant Element The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass ceramic surface to provide the heat for cooking. The radiant element will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature Limiter). Dual Element The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be selected for use, in order to better match the size of cookware. Triple Element The triple element consists of three (small, medium and large) radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small element, the small and medium element or all three elements may be selected for use, in order to better match the size of cookware. Bridge Element (some models) The bridge element joins the front single element and the back single element to create one long oblong element. It is designed for use with large cookware such as long griddles and roasters. Retained Heat The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. Temperature Limiter Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting. Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual: • The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base). • The pan is too small for the element. • The pan has boiled dry. • The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat. Hot Surface Indicator The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot. Oven Racks Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combinations: • Three flat racks • Two flat racks and one full extension rack • Two flat racks and one half rack Flat Oven Racks The racks are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.
