Setting Surface Controls
Triple radiant surface element
To operate the dual radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to
begin heating both the inner and outer portions of the
element (marked dual - See Fig. 2). If only the inner
heating portion is needed (marked single - See Fig. 1) for
smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-
clockwise to start.
3. To operate all 3 elements at the same time (inner,
middle and outer portions) turn right front control knob
as shown (area marked on knob DUAL or TRIPLE) to the
desired setting and push in the button marked TRIPLE
ELEMENT as shown in Fig. 3). Please note that all 3
element portions will adjust to the same power level.
Please note that you may switch from the single, dual or
triple settings at any time during cooking.
4. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element OFF before removing the cookware.
Important notes:
• For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a
guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. Refer to the Suggested radiant surface
element settings table for suggested power level settings.
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
• A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware
is
