SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating the Dual Surface Radiant
Element (SpecicCeramicGlassCooktop
models only)
The cooktop is equipped with one or two dual radiant
surface element. Symbols around the knob are used to
indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat.
The small digits on the control knob indicate that only the
inner coil will heat (Fig. 1). The large digits on the control
knobs indicate that both inner and outer coils will heat
(Fig. 2). You may switch from either coil setting at any
time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure 1
for smaller cookware or in Figure 2 for larger cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
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.

Indicator lights (Some models)
Some models have an indicator light for each heating
unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of
heating units, also some other models have an indicator
light for all heating units.

turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the
control knob of the individual heating unit is turned on.
If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the
indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be
heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher
setting until the heating unit comes on.
