Electric Cooktop Burner Operation

Topics:

  • Electric Cooktop burner function
  • Will a burner heat without a pan?
  • Burner heats with no pan on it
  • Triple zone burner halo effect

Answer:

To turn on an Electric Cooktop burner:

1. Touch ON/OFF for the desired single element on the control panel. Power level indicator will flash and all indicators for that zone will flash.

2. To complete the activation, touch HI for highest heat, SIM (MLT) for lowest heat, BOOST (induction) to turn on boost mode, or touch desired power level indicator.
3. To change the heat setting while the element is on, touch or slide to desired power level.
4. To turn the element off, touch ON/OFF.

Electric Cooktop burners produce heat when they are turned on, even without a pan on the surface.

On the large triple ring burner, when operating all three zones, the outer ring will glow brighter than the two middle rings. This is normal.
