operating the single surface radiant

elements

The cooktop has 2 or 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements:

the RIGHT FRONT position and the LEFT REAR position,

and the center rear position (on the 36” model only).

The left rear element may also be used with the Bridge

element (Figures 1 and 2).

to operate the single radiant surface

elements

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction to the desired setting (Figure 3).

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface

control knob to oFF before removing the

cookware.

can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass

cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will

glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished

is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are

turned off.
