Radiant Elements
This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located
under the glass-ceramic surface to provide the heat
for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and off by
design (see Temperature Limiters, below.) There are an
infinite number of heat settings between the 1-9
positions.
Single Element
To turn on a single element, push down on the control
knob and turn in either direction to the desired heat
setting.

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 and outer elements
may be selected for use.
To turn ON the small, inner element, push down on
the control knob and turn it clockwise. Use the control
as if it was a single element.
To turn ON both the inner and outer elements
together, push down on the control knob and turn it
clockwise past the number 9 setting to the dual element
marker. The dual ON indicator light will glow indicating
that the dual element is on. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to the disired setting. To turn off
the dual element, turn the knob to the OFF position.
Temperature Limiters
Each radiant 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 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.
