The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located 

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic 

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. 

make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter 

of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1 & 2).

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to 

the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. 

The  type  and  size  of  cookware,  the  number  of  surface 

elements in use and their settings are all factors that will 

affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond 

the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements 

may become hot enough to cause burns.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the 

temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain 

the selected setting, the element will cycle ON and OFF. 

The  heating  element  retains  enough  heat  to  provide  a 

uniform  and  consistent  heat  during  the  OFF  cycle.  For 

efficient  cooking,  turn  OFF  the  element  several  minutes 

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to 

complete the cooking process.

Your  cooktop  is  equipped  with  radiant  surface  radiant 

elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat 

food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element 

wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the 30” 

cooktop as follows:

•  One 9 inch radiant element located at the right front 

position.

•  One dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element located at the 

right rear position.

•  Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left 

front and rear positions.

•  One mid-position radiant element located between left 

front and rear elements. Connects with front element to 

form Bridge element.

The radiant surface elements are located on the 36” 

cooktop as follows:

•  One small 6 inch radiant element located at the center 

rear position.

•  One dual 5 or 7 inch radiant element located at the 

right rear position.

•  One 9 inch radiant element located at the left front 

position.

•  Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left 

front and rear position.

•  One mid-position radiant element located between left 

front and rear elements. Connects with front element to 

form Bridge element.
