The cooktop is equipped with 1 or 2 dual radiant surface 

elements located at the left front and the right front 

position (Figure 1). Symbols around the knob are used 

to indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will

heat (Figure 2). The   symbol indicates that both inner 

and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You may switch from 

either coil setting at any time during cooking.

cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
