BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
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 dual radiant element (some models) has two
circles. The dual radiant element may be set us-
ing only the smaller inner element or both inner
and outer elements may be set to heat together
for a larger surface.
•
Dual elements allow more fl exibility with the
size of cookware.
•
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.
