SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS



NOTE

See Suggested Element Power Level Settings Table on page 9.

CAUTION

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 sufﬁ ciently.

Do not place aluminum foil, 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 ﬁ re if placed

too close to the surface elements.

To Operate the Triple Radiant Elements:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the bridge radiant

element.

2. To activate press and hold the

keypad for the

bridge element until acceptance tone sounds.

3. Set the element size. Press Size keypad once for front

(Fig. 2), twice for front with middle (Fig. 3) or 3 times

for front, middle and rear (Fig. 4).

4. To set power level press hi, med or lo keypad and if

needed toggle the hi or lo keypads to adjust to the

desired power level setting. Each touch of the hi or

lo key pad will increase or decrease the power level

by 1/2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power levels

between 3.0 and 1.2 will increase or decrease by .2

increments. Hi (Fig. 5) is the highest power level. Lo

(Fig. 6) is the lowest power level available.

5. Once cooking is ﬁ nished, press

keypad to turn

the triple element OFF (Fig. 7).

Hot Element Indicator Message

After using any of the radiant element positions the

cooktop will become very hot. Even after setting the

controls to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some

time. The cooktop control monitors the temperature

of the cooktop and displays the message “HE” (hot

element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to

touch. If the HE message appears in the window, the

control can still be turned on again for use.

BRIDGE RADIANT ELEMENT

The cooktop provides a bridge

radiant element located as

illustrated. Use the following

instructions when operating this

element.

Use the Size keypad (Fig. 1) to select which portions of

the bridge element are needed for heating. The bridge

element size may be changed anytime the element is ON.

Important notes:

• If all 3 bridge elements are set to be active together

and the left rear element is needed with a different

power level setting, change the bridge size to

and then set the left rear power level independently.

• If no element size is chosen when the bridge element

is turned ON, only the front will heat by default.

• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and

then turn to a lower setting to ﬁ nish cooking.

• For efﬁ cient cooking, turn the surface element OFF

several minutes before cooking is complete. This will

allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• 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.

• 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

cooktop. 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 ﬂ at.
