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 ex-
tra-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 de-
signed to cook food.
