Radiant Elements | This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass | |
| surface to provide the heat for cooking. There are an infinite number of heat set- | |
| tings between the LO and HI positions. Detents (fixed positions) are found at LO | |
| and HI to define minimum and maximum heat settings. Radiant elements will | |
| cycle on and off by design. (See Temperature Limiters, below.) | |

Dual Elements | The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating |
| area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be |
| selected for use. There are detents at LO and HI with infinite settings between. |
| To turn ON the small, inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it |
| counterclockwise following the single line graphic. |
| To turn ON both inner and outer elements together, push down on the control |
| knob and turn it clockwise following the double line graphic. |

The Bridge element consists of 3 separate elements that can be operated in 2 different ways:
•Use of either one or both of the circular elements independently.
•Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge element simultaneously with a single control.
When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles, open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a flat bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely as possible.
