4.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Convection Range with Steam Cleaning The cooktop burners are radiant surface elements. When you turn on an element, the temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant element glows red. To maintain the selected setting, the element cycles on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to help provide a more uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete.
Using a surface element control knob A Single (left rear, right rear) B Dual (Left front, right front) 1 Push the knob in. 2 For the left and right rear burners, turn knob in either direction to the setting you want. 3 For the left and right front dual burners, turn the knob to the A side to use the element as single element. Turn the knob to the B side to use both elements. When you use the B side, the element heat increases.
4.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Convection Range with Steam Cleaning Types of cookware What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. MATERIAL DESCRIPTION Aluminum Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food cause aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.) If you slide aluminum pans across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches.
