Operating the DOUBLE Surface Elements
The cooktops are equipped with a DOUBLE radiant surface
element located at the left rear cooktop position (Fig. 1)
or center rear cooktop position (Fig. 2). Indicator lights on
the control panel at that position are used to indicate what
portions of the dual radiant element will heat. The light
indicates that only the inner element will heat. The
&
lights indicate that both inner and outer elements will heat
together. You may switch between these different settings at
any time during cooking.

is the lowest power level available.
Note:
The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
7. 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.
8. When cooking has been completed touch the
pad once to turn the element OFF and if no other surface element is
used touch the
key pad to turn off the cooktop.
Note:
The
HE

surface area has cooled sufficiently.
To Operate the Dual Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Touch and hold the
key pad until a beep sounds. The
power indicator light will turn ON. Note: If no key pad
is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON
the cooktop will clear.

.
Note:
If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds
the request to power the element ON will clear.
4. Select the (Fig. 3) or (both elements) (Fig. 4) to heat
by pressing the
pad once or twice (Figures 4 & 5
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.
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 surface elements.
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.
