Operating the Dual Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a Duai radiant surface
element located at the right front cooktop position (Figure 1).
indicator lights on the control panel at that position are used
to indicate what portions of the Dual radiant eiement wili
heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner element
will heat (Figure 2). The OUTER light indicates that both
inner and outer elements will heat together (Figure 3). You
may switch between these different settings at any time
during cooking.

Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
Touch and hold the pad for the Dual element position until a beep is
heard. The display will show " - -Note: If no further pads are touched within
10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.
If the pan sensing feature is off, select the INNER (Figure 2) or OUTER (both
elements) (Figure 3) to heat by pressing the pad once or twice times
(Figures 3 & 4 show indicator lights with OUTER selected). Note: If no
element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will
default to the inner coil only. If the pan sensing feature is on, the element size
key is disabled and the appropriate element size is automatically selected
according to the pan size.
Touch HI pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo (pp)
pad once for Lo (See Figure 4).
Each touch of the HI or pad will increase or decrease power
levels from 9.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels between
3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power
level available.
Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
When cooking has been completed touch the pad once to turn the
entire element OFF.
Each dual surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. The different glow of the 2 elements
is normal and doesn’t affect heating performance (See Figure 3). 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.
Note: If no element size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. See
page 9 for recommended surface cooking settings.
 CAUTION 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.
