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. 
• Dual 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.
