pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and
the amount and type of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.

To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Elements (some models)
Symbols on the backguard are used to indicate which coil of the Dual
Radiant element will heat. The
symbol indicates the inner coil only. The
symbol indicates both inner and outer coils will heat (See Figs. 1, 2 &
Suggested Radiant Surface Element Settings Table).
Dual Radiant Element Controls operate exactly the same way as Single
Radiant Element controls, except you may switch from either coil setting at
any time during cooking (Refer to the steps under “To Operate Single
Radiant Surface Elements). Push in & turn the control knob in either
direction to the desired setting as instructed above (See Figs. 1 & 2)
NOTE: Surface areas that heat are shown in black (See Figs. 1 & 2).
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 & 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.
