Dual Size Surface Cooking Area
(on some models)
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.

B
A. Single size
B. Dual size
The dual size surface cooking area contains 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 activate only part of the dual size cooking area. This will result in the burner being less efficient and will 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.
