• The Center area is a Dual Cooking Zone which
activates single or dual elements depending on
pot/pan size. If the cooktop detects cookware
that is less than 9” in diameter, only the inner
ring (single element) will activate. If it detects
cookware larger than 9” in diameter, it will
activate both the inner and outer rings (dual
element)
• To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set
the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at
least 9" in diameter so that the center element is
activated, and turn off all other elements.
