Dual radiant surface element

(some models)

To operate the dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to

begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the

element (marked dual - See Fig. 2). If only the inner

heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 1) for

smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter­

clockwise to start.

Please note that you may switch from the single or dual

settings at any time during cooking.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface

element OFF before removing the cookware.

Important notes:

• For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly

on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a

guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each

surface element provides a constant amount of heat at

each setting. Refer to the

Suggested radiant surface

element settings table

for suggested power level settings.

• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and

then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant

heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI

setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic

smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will

occur more often if the cookware is too small for the

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

• 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.

Do not place plastic items such

as

salt

and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the range when it is in use.

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire

if placed too close to the surface elements.

ik CAUTION

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/

porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to

make contact with the ceramic cooktop.

If these items melt

on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
