SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Dual radiant surface elements
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which
portion of the dual radiant element to set. The
symbol indicates a setting for the inner element
only. The symbol indicates a setting for both in-
ner and outer elements.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clock-
wise to begin heating both the inner and outer
elements. If only the inner element is needed
for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob
counter-clockwise (see Figure 7).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF
before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The surface control knobs do not have to be set
exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a
guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
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.
You may switch from either single or dual element
setting at any time during cooking.
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The ele-
ment may still be hot and burns may occur if the
element is touched before it has cooled sufficient-
ly.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plas-
tic wrappings on top of the range when it is in
use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls
or reflector pans. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they
will damage the ceramic cooktop.
NOTE
The size and type of utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one
or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at
these indicator lights when finished cooking is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned
OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain
on AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF"
position and will stay on until the heating surface
area has cooled sufficiently
