Dual/Triple Circuit Element

The dual-size and triple-size elements offer flexibility depending
on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same
way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine
single, dual and outer element and are recommended for larger
cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.

the cooktop touch controls.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Warm Function is available on the rear elements, and can be
used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or
not the other surface cooking zones are in use.
It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Warm
Function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but
A
the indicator light will glow on the control panel.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact
with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to
remove cookware.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Warm Function
for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm
for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the "up" arrow once for WARM.
3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface
cooking area.
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see "General Cleaning" section.
■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
■ Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface
indicator light goes off. If spills and soils are allowed to cool
down on the surface, they can adhere to the cooktop and
cause pitting and permanent marks.
■ Lift pots and pans on and off the cooktop. Sliding pots, pans
and skillets that have aluminum or copper bases could leave
permanent scratches and marks on the cooktop.
■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot
be removed completely.
■ Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum
foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
■ Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
