A Cooktop On Indicator light is located on the control panel.

hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking

The dual size elements offer flexibility to cook using different
sizes of cookware. The single element can be used in the same
way as a regular element. The dual element combines both the
