Dual/Triple Element
The dual and triple elements offer 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 cookware,
large quantities of food, and home canning.

area(s) individually or ALL OFF/LOCK to turn off all surface
cooking areas at once.

from the last time it was used and those burner areas will
automatically activate the next time SELECT is touched. To

All Off/Lock
The ALL OFF cooktop touch control turns off all surface cooking
areas that are in use at the same time.
The LOCK cooktop touch control avoids unintended use of the
surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the
surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch
controls.
To Lock Cooktop:
Touch and hold the ALL OFF/LOCK keypad for 5 seconds. After
5 seconds, ALL OFF/LOCK will glow red, indicating that the
cooktop controls are in the lockout position.
To Unlock Cooktop:
Touch and hold the ALL OFF/LOCK keypad for 5 seconds.
Keep Warm
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Keep Warm surface cooking area can be used to keep
cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other
surface cooking zones are in use. One hour is the recommended
maximum time to maintain food quality.
It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Keep
Warm function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking
zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use, and those that have flat bottoms to make direct
contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts
to remove cookware.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Keep Warm
function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep
food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.
A separate Keep Warm surface cooking area is available on some
models.
