Before Setting Surface Controls
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more
elements are turned on.
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is
an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is
hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is
turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.
Types of ceramic cooktop elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and
type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop
depend on the model.
• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles. The
dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller
inner element or both inner and outer elements may be set
to heat together for a larger surface.
• A triple radiant element (some models) has three circles.
The element may be set using only the inner element, the
inner and middle elements, or all three elements together.
• Dual and triple elements allow more flexibility with the size
of cookware.
• A keep warm element (some models) has one small circle. It
is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm
element is not designed to cook food.
