The Elements / Setting the Controls

Radiant Elements

Siemens quickStart radiant elements use a wire ribbon
TM
located under the ceramic glass surface to provide the
heat for cooking. These radiant elements will cycle on and
off by design (see Temperature Limiters, below.) There
are 9 heat setting positions from 9 (high) to 1 (low) and a
special setting for keep warm.

Dual Element

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements
within the same heating area. Either the small inner
element or both the inner and outer elements may be
selected for use, depending on the size of cookware. (See
page 7.)

Temperature Limiters

Each quickStart heating element has its own sensor to
protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high
temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by
cycling the element on and off regardless of the cook
setting.
Although cycling is normal, any one of the following
conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on
and off more than usual:
• The base of the pan is not making full contact with
the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven
base).
• The pan is too small for the size of the element.
• The pan has boiled dry.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer
the heat.
