Fig. 1 - 30” Model

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements

The cooktop has 4 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the RIGHT REAR, LEFT REAR, CENTER REAR and the LEFT FRONT

positions (Fig. 1 & 2).

Fig. 2 - 36” Model

To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Touch and hold the

key pad until a beep sounds. The power indicator light will turn ON.

Note: If no key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the cooktop will

clear.

3. Touch the

pad for the desired element position until a beep is heard. The display will

show "--". Note: If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the

element ON will clear.

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 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.

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.

4. Touch pad once to turn ON the power level to HI (See Fig. 3). Touch pad

once for Lo.

5. Each touch of the

or 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.

6. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting

to ﬁ nish 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.

7. When cooking has been completed touch the

pad once to turn the element

OFF and if no other surface element is used touch the 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 suﬃ ciently.
