A:Answer Hi mcdeb. Thank you for your question. The 11 inch element is a cooking element also. Per the Use and Care Manual, you can use the Power Manager to adjust the cooktop. Power Manager:
You can use the power manager to set the total power of
the cooktop.
The cooktop is preset at the factory. Its maximum
performance is specified on the rating label. You can use
the power manager to change the value in accordance
with the requirements for the relevant electrical
installation.
In order not to exceed this set value, the cooktop
automatically distributes the power available between the
cooking zones that are switched on.
As long as the power manager function is activated, the
output of a cooking zone may temporarily fall below the
nominal value. If a cooking zone is switched on and the
power limit is reached, ¬ appears in the heat setting
display for a short time. The appliance automatically
regulates and selects the highest possible power level.
For more information about how the total power of the
cooktop is changed, see section ~ "Basic settings"
