Radiant Surface Unit Control
Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Push in and turn the Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a lower setting
to finish. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cooking utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob
does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.
Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual
Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting.
NOTE : Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and
off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the glasstop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF , be careful not to touch
either unit until it has had enough time to COOL . Surface Units will turn dark
in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are
touched at this time.
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.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the unit.
