OPERATING THE TRIPLE SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT
ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON
ELEMENT ON ELEMENT ON
Both the 30” and 36” cooktops are equipped with a
“Triple” surface radiant element located at the center
rear position (See Figs. 1 & 2). A selector near the
control knob is used to select one of the 3 positions
of the element. The symbol (See Fig. 3) indicates
that only the inner element (See Fig. 6) will heat. The
symbol (See Fig. 4) indicates that both inner and
middle elements (See Fig. 7) will heat together. The
symbol (See Fig. 5) indicates that all 3 portions of
the element (See Fig. 8) will heat. 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.Select the INNER, MIDDLE or ALL 3 elements to
heat by turning the selector knob (See Figs. 3, 4
& 5).
3. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting using the ESEC
digital display window for the desired setting (Fig.
9). Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware. Note: The surface “Element On” indicator lights will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is
an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off. Also, the HE message will appear
in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and remain on until
the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Radiant surface elements may appear to be cooled after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element)
message will turn ON and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate
level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the
indicator light has turned OFF.
