Types of cooktop surface elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the
ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element
available.
The single radiant element or elements will have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warmer zone
feature located on the center rear area of the cooktop uses
one round outline and is designed to keep food warm only.
The dual (some models) radiant element allows the user to
set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both
inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See
Fig. 1).
The triple (some models) radiant element feature has three
element portions and may be set to heat as 1 (single),
2 (dual) or 3 (triple) element portions together (See Fig. 2).
