ELEMENTS
Ceran Element Cooktop
Cooking areas are identified by patterns in
the Ceran surface. The elements consist of
coil(s) contained in the element housing.
Power to the element (240 volts) is provided
and controlled by an infinite switch. Each
heating element is equipped with a
temperature limiter, which prevents heat
surges and ensures that the heating
elements will not overheat. The element and
temperature limiter is available as a
complete unit or individual parts.
When a cooking area is turned ON, the coil
element under the cook top will heat up and
glow. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the heat setting. When the element
cycles on, it is normal to see a red glow
through the smooth top.
Note: It is normal for the element to cycle
when set on the high setting.
