Dual Element
The dual-size elements offer flexibility to cook using different
sizes of cookware. The single element can be used in the same
way as a regular element. The dual element combines the inner
and outer elements and is recommended for larger cookware,
large quantities of food, and home canning.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch HEAT ZONE SIZE to select desired zone diameter.
3. Choose a power level between HI and WARM LO. Touch the
+ or - keypad to increase or decrease power.
4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface
cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all
elements off at the same time.
Control Lock/All Off
The ALL OFF cooktop touch controls turn off all surface cooking
areas.
The Control Lock cooktop touch control averts unintended use of
the surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the
surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch
controls.
To Lock Cooktop: Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/
ALL OFF keypad for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, CONTROL
LOCK will glow red, indicating that the cooktop touch controls
are in the lockout position.

WARM HI /LO Function
(on Electronic Touch Control models)
The WARM HI and WARM LO functions can be used to keep
cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other
surface cooking zones are in use. One hour is the recommended
maximum time to maintain food quality.
The WARM HI and WARM LO functions are available on all the
surface cooking elements.
WARM HI provides higher temperature warming. The WARM HI
function is also ideal for melting chocolate or butter.
It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the WARM
HI or WARM LO functions are in use, it will not glow red like the
cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control
panel.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact
with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to
remove cookware.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the WARM LO
function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep
food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.
To Use WARM LO:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the plus (+) keypad once for WARM LO.
3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface
cooking area.
To Use WARM HI:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the plus (+) keypad twice for WARM HI.
3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface
cooking area.
