Element On and Hot Surface Indicator
Lights
Some models have an ELEMENT ON indicator light
that will turn on when one or more elements are
turned on.
figure 3: Element On
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface ele-
ments 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 us-
ing 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.

small circle. It is used to keep food warm after
cooking. The keep warm element is not de-
signed to cook food.
