SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of
the dual radiant element to set. The
symbol indicates a
setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a
setting for both inner and outer elements.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating both the inner and outer elements. If only
the inner element is needed for smaller cookware, push
in and turn the knob counter-clockwise (see
Figure 13).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before
removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed.
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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting at
any time during cooking. See
“Suggested radiant surface
element settings” on page 12.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. 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 flammable items such as plastic 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Figure 13: Dual element knob settings
• The size and type of utensil used and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
• The Element ON indicator lights will turn on when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on
AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will stay on until the heating surface area
has cooled sufficiently.
