OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT

Both the 30” and 36” cooktops are equipped with “Triple” surface radiant
elements located as shown in Figs. 1 & 2. A touch key pad on the element
controls is used to select one of the 3 positions of the element. Indicator
lights on the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the triple radiant
element will heat. One indicator light on indicates that only the INNER coil
will heat (Fig. 3). Two indicator lights on indicate that both INNER and
MIDDLE coils will heat (Fig. 4). Three indicator lights on indicate that all 3
portions of the element will heat (Fig. 5). You may switch from either of
these 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 

POWER

 key pad until a beep sound. The power

indicator light above the 

POWER

 will turn ON. Note: If no other key

pad is touched within 20 seconds the request to Power ON the
cooktop will clear.

3.

Touch and hold the pad for the desired triple element position

until a beep is heard. The indicator light located above the

Each touch of the 

 or 

 pad will increase or decrease the power level. 

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 

ON OFF

 pad once to turn the element OFF

and if no other surface element is used touch the 

POWER

 key pad to turn off the cooktop.

Note:

 The 

Hot Surface Indicator Light

 will turn ON if the cooktop is still hot and will

remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
