outline pattern shown (keep warm zone is only designed to keep food warm). The dual radiant element is flexible because you may set just the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions can be set to heat together.

About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in the following chart are based on cooking with
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1.Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface element.
2.Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Suggested settings for single and dual radiant elements table). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
3.When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
