Halogen/Radiant Component
Component Cooktop System

Halogen
surface unit The controls selected for the halogen/radiant
component will give you a full range of heat
settings for cooking.
The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from
the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any
position other than off (0), they may be turned without
pushing down.
You may notice that the knob that operates the
halogen surface unit is slightly harder to turn
than the knob for the radiant surface unit. This
is due to the difference in design between the
two controls.
NOTE:
• The lowest three settings will produce no
visible evidence of the surface unit being on
although up to 11% of the total wattage is
being generated. On the lowest settings, the
percentage of power may not cause the hot
surface lights to light. An indicator light near
the control knobs will glow when either surface
unit is on.
• The burner “on” light will glow for all
positions except the off position.
The eleven position halogen control produces the following
variation in cooking power.
If the halogen/radiant component is connected to 208 volts, you
will notice some increase in cooking times.

Radiant
surface unit The control for the radiant surface unit is an
infinite switch that can be set anywhere between
LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat
settings.With the infinite switch the coil cycles
on and off to maintain your selected control
setting.
The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from
the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any
position other than off (0), they may be turned without
pushing down.
Be sure you turn the control knob off (0) when
you finish cooking. You will feel a “click” at the
off position.
