The radiant element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass ceramic surface to
provide the heat for cooking. The radiant element will cycle on and off by design
(see Temperature Limiter).
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, in order to better match the size of cookware.
The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have
been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving tempera-
tures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.
Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking sur-
face from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by
cycling the element 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 element.
• The pan has boiled dry.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.
