This kind of electric heating elements use a ribbon wire
located under the glass surface to provide the heat for
cooking. The heating elements will cycle on and off,
depending on the power level set and displayed by the

Each radiant heater has its own temperature limiter to
protect the glass cooking surface from extremely high
temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by
cycling the element.

independent radiant ribbon elements which can be
