single radiant surface elements
(all models)
The cooktop has 2 or 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements:
the
left rear
position (Figures 1, 2 & 3), the
right rear
position (Figures 1 and 2), and the
right front
position
(Figures 1 and 3). The left rear element may also be used
with the Bridge element (Model C only - Figure 3).
To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2.
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 4). 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.
3.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.

is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are
turned off.
