Radiant Elements
Bosch UltraSpeed
TM
radiant elements use a wire
ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface
to provide the heat for cooking. These radiant
elements will cycle on and off by design (see
Temperature Limiters, below.) There are 9 heat
setting positions from 9 (high) to 1 (low) and a
special setting for keep warm.
Dual Element
The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon
elements within the same heating area. Either the
small inner element or both the
inner
inner
inner and outer
elements may be selected for use, depending on
the size of cookware. (See page 7.)
Temperature Limiters
Each UltraSpeed heating element has its own
sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from
extreme high temperatures. The limiters will
operate automatically by cycling the element on
and off regardless of the cook setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following
conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to
cycle on and off more than usual:
• The base of the pan is not making full contact
with the heating surface (due to a warped or
uneven base).
• The pan is too small for the size of the
element.
• The pan has boiled dry.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to
transfer the heat.
