Operating the Triple Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a Triple radiant surface
element located at the right front cooktop position
(Figures 1 & 2). Indicator lights on the control panel at
that position are used to indicate what portions of the
Triple radiant element will heat. The light indicates
that only the inner element will heat. The & light
indicates that both inner and double elements will
heat together. The , & light indicates that all
3 portions of the element will heat. You may switch
between all of these different settings at any time
during cooking.

To Operate the Triple Surface Element:
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.
3. Touch and hold the
pad for the Triple element position
until a beep is heard. The display will show “- -”.
Note:
If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the
request to power the element ON will clear.
4. Select the (See Fig. 3), (See Fig. 4) or elements (See
Fig. 5) to heat by pressing the
pad once, twice or three times (Figures 5 & 6 show indicator lights with ALL 3
elements selected).
5. Touch HI pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo pad once for Lo (See Fig. 6).
6. Each touch of the or Lo pad will decrease or increase the power level from 9.0 through 3.0 by .5 increments.
Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo 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
(hot element) message will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating
surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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.
