SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1 & 2). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
setting surface controls The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 1 thru 4).

Setting surface controls Operating the Single Surface Radiant Elements The cooktop has 2 or 3 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the RIGHT FRONT position and the LEFT REAR position, and the center rear position (on the 36” model only).

Setting surface controls Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at the right rear (See Figures 1 & 2) position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Fig. 5). The symbol indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Fig. 6). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
Setting surface controls Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (See Figures 1 & 2) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (See Figure 5).
SURFACE COOKING Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Cookware Material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor.
