Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel. 
When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the 
Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light 
On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located 
on the console panel.
The Hot Surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface 
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking 
area is turned off.
Dual-Size Cooking Element (on some models)
The Dual-Size Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the 
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a 
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer 
element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
Triple Zone Element (on some models)
The Triple Zone Element offers flexibility depending on the size of 
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular 
element. The dual and triple sizes combine single, dual and outer 
elements and are recommended for larger size cookware, large 
quantities of food, and home canning.
Even-Heat™ Ultra Element (on some models)
The Even-Heat™ Ultra Element offers additional cooking flexibility. 
The Even-Heat™ Ultra Element can be used to boil liquids faster. 
The lowest setting can be used to prepare sauces and to keep 
foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for 
the Even-Heat™ Ultra Element.
Even-Heat™ Element
The Even-Heat™ Cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide 
range of settings between High and Melt. The High heat option 
can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the 
power setting, turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is 
designed for delicate foods that require low heat, such as when 
melting chocolate or holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in 
size for the Even-Heat™ element.
Warm Zone Element
Use the Cooktop Warm Zone element to keep cooked foods warm. 
One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food 
quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warm Zone element can be used alone or when any of the 
other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. 
However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm 
Zone element is in use.
Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming 
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to 
escape.
