The surface “Element On” indicator lights will glow 

when one or more elements are turned on. A quick 

glance at these indicator lights when cooking is fi nished 

is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are 

turned off.

(all models)

The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface 

elements located at the left front (Figures 1& 2) and 

the right front (Figure 2) or the right rear (Figure 3) 

position. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate 

which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The   

symbol indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Figure 

4). The   symbol indicates that both inner and outer 

coils will heat (Figure 5). You may switch from either coil 

setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element

1.  Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface 

element.

2.  Push in and turn the control knob to the inner coil 

symbol for smaller cookware (Figure 4) or to inner 

and outer coil symbol for larger cookware (Figure 5). 

Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. 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.

3.  When cooking has completed, turn the surface
