OPERATING THE DUAL SURFACE RADIANT ELEMENT
Both the 30” and 36” cooktops are equipped with dual radiant surface element
located as shown in Figs. 1 & 2. A touch key pad on the element controls is
used to select one of the 2 positions of the element. Symbols and indicator
lights on the control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant
element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the INNER coil will heat
(Fig. 3). The
symbol indicates that both INNER and OUTER coils will heat
(Fig. 4). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The Hot
Element (HE) message will be showed and will continue to display 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 display has turned OFF.

indicator light above the
