Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of
the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a
setting for the inner coil only. The symbol indicates a
setting for both inner and outer coils.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
You may switch from either single or dual element setting
at any time while cooking. For power level
recommendations see the suggested power level
settings for single or dual radiant elements provided
on the page for single element instructions.
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
(See Fig. 1) to begin heating both the inner and outer
portions of the dual element. If only the inner heating
portion is needed for smaller cookware, push in and
turn the knob counter-clockwise (See Fig. 2).
3. When finished cooking, 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.
Dual radiant surface elements (some models)
• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
• The 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 control knobs are turned OFF. The
hot surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER
the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will
glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
NOTES
• 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 flammable items such as plastic 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.

IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the cooktop when
hot. If these items melt on the cooktop they may
damage the ceramic cooktop.
