BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or
more elements are turned on.
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements
are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the
burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after
the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe
temperature.
Types of ceramic cooktop elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size
and type of element underneath. The elements on your
cooktop depend on the model.
• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles.
The dual radiant element may be set using 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 flexibility 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 designed to cook food.
