RADIANT MODULE How to Insert the Module 1. Be sure the controls are turned to OFF. To install the module, position the plug to the outside wall of the cooktop. 2. Slide the module toward the outlet in the side of the cooktop until the plug is pushed all the way in. 3. Lower the inside edge of the module into the cooktop until it is flush with the cooking surface. How to Remove the Module 1. Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the radiant surface units are cool before attempting to remove the module. 2. Lift up the tab at the inside edge of the module until the base clears the opening at the side of the cooktop. 3. To unplug, hold the module by the front and back edges and slide toward the center of the cooktop. Lift out when unplugged. 4. If you are storing modules, do not stack them or store other materials on top of them. This could damage the surface of the modules. General Information About Radiant Modules The radiant module features heating coils beneath a smooth glass ceramic surface. The two surface units are shown by outlines on the glass. • When a surface unit is activated, coils beneath the surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the cookware. The red glow of the coils will be instantly visible through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting. The coils have temperature limiters to prevent runaway temperatures. • If you are storing modules, do not stack them or store other materials on top of them, as damage to the glass ceramic surface of the radiant module is likely. Be careful not to damage or bend the electrical plug. • Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass module. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the module. • Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as small scratches. They can be removed with the recommended cleaning creme and a razor scraper. • When a surface unit is turned on, the surface unit can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, fiat cookware will minimize the cycling. • It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass ceramic surface when the surface is cool. 12
