BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline
the size and type of element underneath. The ele-
ments on your cooktop depend on the model.
• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two
circles. The dual radiant element may be set us-
ing only the smaller inner element or both inner
and outer elements may be set to heat together
for a larger surface.
• Dual elements allow more flexibility with the
size of cookware.
• A keep warm element (some models) has one
small circle. It is used to keep food warm after
cooking. The keep warm element is not de-
signed to cook food.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator
Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when
one or more elements are turned on. A quick
glance at this indicator light when cooking is fin-
ished is an easy check to be sure all surface ele-
ments are turned o.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when
the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will
remain on after the burner is turned o until the
surface has cooled to a safe temperature.
