Dual Radiant Surface Unit Controls
To Operate Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. The 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. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates the utensil istoo small for the
unit.
3. When cooking iscompleted, turn the surface element off before removing
the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking
isfinished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The
hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is
turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
Setting Type of Cooking
HiGH (HI) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (4-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies,
steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2-3) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew
SIMMER (1-SIM) Keep warm, melt, simmer
Note: 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.
To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Units (If equipped)
Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. • Indicates inner coil only.
(_ Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either
coil setting at any time during the cooking process. Push in and turn the Dual
Surface Unit Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as
instructed above.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiterthat allows the element to cycle on and
off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the glasstop.
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the pan is too small for the
element or if the pan bottom is not flat.
After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch
either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark
in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are
touched at this time.
Do not place plastic items such as 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 unit.
