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.
To operate a dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on dual radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the
dual element. If only the inner heating portion is
needed like for smaller cookware, push in and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to start.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the dual radiant
surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark.
Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed. 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.
You may switch from either element setting at any time
during cooking. See Suggested radiant surface element
settings table on previous page.
Keep warm (some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the
warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain
quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt
onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only
dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven
and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob. The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI and LO. However, the control can be set at any
position between HI and LO for different levels of
warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep
warm zone will remain warm until the indicator light
CAUTION:
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 and
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.
