Operating the DUAL Surface Element
The cooktops are equipped with a DUAL radiant surface
element located at the right front cooktop position (Figures 1
& 2). Indicator lights on the control panel at that position are
used to indicate what portions of the dual radiant element will
heat. The INNER light indicates that only the inner element
will heat. The OUTER light indicates that both inner and outer
elements will heat together. You may switch between these
different settings at any time during cooking.

once or twice (Figures 4 & 5 show indicator lights with OUTER and INNER elements selected). Note: If no element
size is chosen when the dual element is turned ON, the control will default to the inner coil only. If the pan sensing
feature is on, the element size key is disabled and the appropriate element size is automatically selected according to
the pan size.
5. Touch HI pad once to turn ON the power level to HI (See Figure 5). Touch Lo pad once for Lo.
6. Each touch of the HI or Lo pad will decrease or increase the power level from 9.5 through 3.0 by .5
increments. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest
power level available.
Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.
7. 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.
8. When cooking has been completed touch the
On/Off
pad once to turn the element OFF and if no other surface element
is used touch the
POWER
key pad to turn off the cooktop.
Note: The HE (hot element) message will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating
surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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 aluminum foil or 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 surface elements.
