Operating the Dual SurFace Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface elements
located at the right front (See Figure 2 & 4) position. "Single and
Dual" on the control knob are used to indicate which coil of the
dual radiant element will heat. "Single" indicates that only the
inner coil will heat (Figures 1 & 2). "Dual" indicates that both
inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 3 & 4). 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 counterclockwise (See
Figure 1) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 3)
for larger cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has
cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See "Recommended Settings for Single and Dual Surface Elements" for recommended control settings.
Operating the Warm & Ready TM Zone
The Warm & Ready TM zone radiant element is located at the center rear position
(Figure 6). The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always
start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For
best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow
moisture to escape. Do nat use plastlc wrap or alumlnum toll to cover food. Plasflc or
aluminum may melt onto the surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended by the item manufacturer for
oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.

Do not place alumlnum toll or plastlc items such as saff and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when if 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 or burners.
