SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Triple Surface Radiant Element (some models)
Symbols around the knob are used to indicate which
element of the triple radiant element will heat. The
symbol indicates that only the inner element will heat. The
symbol indicates that the inner and middle elements will
heat. The symbol indicates that the inner, middle and
outer elements will heat (Figure 8).You may switch the
element setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Triple Surface Element
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the inner element
symbol for smaller cookware or to the inner and middle
element symbol for average cookware or to the inner,
middle, and outer element symbol for large cookware
(
Figure 8). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
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.
You may switch to the single, dual, or triple element setting
at any time during cooking. See
“Suggested radiant surface
element settings” on page 15.
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.
CAUTION
Figure 8: Triple element knob settings
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
