Cooktop radiant areas that heat. Your appliance may

have one of these configurations - Fig. 1

About the Radiant Surface E_ements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature

rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to

provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface E_ements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage

ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

Mode! A (See Fig. 1):

- Two rfual 5 or 7 inch radiant element at the right and left rear position;

- Two rfual 6 or 9 inch radiant element at the right and left front position;

About the Ceramic G_ass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface eUements Uocated beUow the surface of the gUass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface eUementunderneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the eUementoutline on the cooktop (See Fig. 1).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the

cookware. OnUyflat-bottom cookware shouUdbe used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface eUements in use

and their settings, are aHfactors that wHUaffect the amount of heat that wHUspread to areas beyond the surface eUements.The areas surrounding the eUements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

Mode/B (see Fig. 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right rear and left front positions;

- A 8 inch radiant element at the left rear position;

- A rfuaJ 6 / 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

Model D shown Only - Fig. 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the GeneraJ Care &

Cleaning section and Before You Calt checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the

element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur

if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or

if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 12

under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon

is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down (White glass cooktops only).

Model C (see Fig. 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right and left rear positions;

- A rfual 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Model D (See Figs. 1 and 2):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements at the right and left rear positions;

- A rfuaJ 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;

- AWarmer Zone radiant element located between the right and left rear positions.

Model E (see Fig. 1):

- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

- A rfuaJ 9/12 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Brirfge radiant element located at the left front & rear positions.
