Before Setting Surface Controls
Types of cooktop surface elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element available.
The single radiant element or elements will have one round outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warmer zone feature located on the center rear area of the cooktop uses one round outline and is designed to keep food warm only.
The dual (some models) radiant element allows the user to set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).
The triple (some models) radiant element feature has three element portions and may be set to heat as 1 (single),
2 (dual) or 3 (triple) element portions together (See Fig. 2).
