Halogen units have radiant coils in the center that do not glow as brightly as the
outer halogen coils.
Some cooktops have both radiant and halogen surface units. This is
how they differ.
■
Halogen units are much brighter than the radiant units. Radiant units have a
dull red glow.
■
Halogen units hum louder than radiant units when they are first turned on.
■
Halogen and radiant units cycle on and off frequently. This is normal. You will
notice the cycling more on the halogen units because of their brightness.
■
Halogen units click when they cycle on and off. Radiant units do not. This is
due to the different switches used on halogen units.
■
Radiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow than halogen units.

The right front surface unit has
2 cooking sizes to select from so you
can match the size of the unit to the
size of the cookware you are using.
Every halogen and radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting
too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:
■
The pan boils dry.
■
The pan bottom is not flat.
■
The pan is off center.
■
There is no pan on the unit.
