THE GRILL ELEMENTS
When a switch is turned to the Low, Medium or
High position, contacts
L1
to
H1
, and
L2
to
H2
close, and provide 240-volts to the element. At the
same time, contacts
L1
to
P
close, and provide
120-volts to the surface unit indicator light.
Whenever one or two grill elements are energized,
infinite switch contact
L1
provides 120-volts to the
fan motor. The voltage is supplied to the fan motor
through a metal shunt, or jumper, that is located on
the plug of the grill module.
A 2800-watt grill module is available for use in this
cooktop. The grill consists of a front and rear
element that are controlled by the infinite switches.
Both a front and a rear infinite switch must be
turned on to obtain full area operation of the grill. If
only a front or a back switch is used, only that
portion of the element will be operational.
