Dual Size Surface Cooking Area
The dual size surface cooking area offers flexibility to cook using different sizes of cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular surface cooking area. The dual size combines inner and outer surface cooking areas and is recommended for larger cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.

A. Single size
B. Dual size
The dual size surface cooking area comprises two cooking areas.
If the size of the pan is the same as the single size surface cooking area, the cooking area will work as a single size cooking area.
If the pan is slightly larger than the single size cooking area, it may only activate part of the dual size cooking area. This will result in the burner being less efficient and increase the heating time.
If the size of the pan is the same as the dual size surface cooking area, the dual size cooking area will activate automatically.
Cooktop Power Off
The Cooktop Power Off key turns off all surface cooking areas at once.
Touch and hold COOKTOP POWER OFF until the indicator goes out. This turns off all the surface cooking areas. The hot surface indicator “H” stays on the display until the surface cooking areas have cooled down.
