Dual Surface Radiant Element (some models) The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface elements. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which element of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol with the center circle blackened indicates that only the inner coil will heat (See Figure 6). The symbol with both elements blackened indicates that both inner and outer elements will heat (See Figure 6). You may switch from either element setting at any time during cooking. CAUTION Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The Hot Element (HE) message or the hot surface indicator light 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. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned off. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS To Operate the Dual Surface Element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element. 2. Push in and turn the control knob to the inner element symbol for smaller cookware or to inner and outer element symbol for larger cookware (See Figure 6). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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. CAUTION Do not place 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. CAUTION Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop. Figure 6: Inner element operation (L) and inner/outer element operation (R) 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. 3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. 13
