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. Some
models have a large Simmer to Boil element for
large pots.
• A bridge element allows you to use an extra-long
piece of cookware such as a griddle on one side of
your cooktop.
• 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 designed
to cook food.
