Setting Surface Controls
OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT
Your cooktop is equipped with a “Triple” surface
radiant element located at the left front position (See
Fig. 1). A selector near the control knob is used to
select one of the 3 positions of the element. The
symbol (See Fig. 2) indicates that only the inner
element (See Fig. 5) will heat. The symbol (See
Fig. 3) indicates that both inner and middle elements
(See Fig. 6) will heat together. The
symbol (See
Fig. 4) indicates that all 3 portions of the element (See
Fig. 7) will heat. You may switch from either of these
settings at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Triple Surface
Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant
surface element.
2. Select the INNER, MIDDLE or ALL 3 elements to
heat by turning the selector knob (See Figs. 2, 3
& 4).
3. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting using the ESEC
digital display window for the desired setting (Fig.
8). Turn (do not push) 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.
Note
: The
HE message
will appear in the display after turning the control
knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on until the heating surface area has
cooled sufficiently.
