When cooking

has been completed

touch the

pad once to turn the

element OFF. Each surface element provides

a constant amount of heat at

each setting. Irregular

glowing effect is depending

of the element design and

doesn't affect performance

of the element (See Figure 6). 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: The

Hot Element

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.

Note:

If no element size is chosen when the Triple element

is turned ON, the

control will default to the inner coil only. See page 9 for recommended

surface

cooking settings.

Note: The Hot Element

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.
