Function & Importance

This surface element switch controls the heating elements on your cooktop, allowing you to adjust temperatures accurately for cooking, boiling, simmering, and frying. A properly functioning switch ensures safe and consistent power delivery to each burner, maintaining energy efficiency and optimal cooking performance.
