Constant heat not produced on Jenn Air Schott Ceran stove top
Why do the heating elements of our Jenn Air cycle on/off during cooking? Would prefer constant heat. Is a solution to switch to conventional electric coil type of burner?

There are only two things you can do as induction cooktops for home use are new technology and also very unreliable, although Schott Ceran are the best of them.
Try doing a power reset, shut off the breaker for an hour or so.
I navigated the SCHOTT website to find a solution and was able to find out how to properly clean my SCHOTT stove top. I would check the Ceran FAQ list to see if your question is answered before anything else.
This cook top light may stay on until the heating element has cooled down, This is a warning that the top is still hot to warn you so you do not get burnt.
You may have a cracked element, they expand when heated and cause a separation in the element. You really have to put a voltmeter on it to test it under load. If the voltage remains constant while the element is heating and cooling, then indeed you have a bad element.
If you don't have a voltmeter, or don't want to perform this test, buy a heating element and replace it, if you have the same problem, you'll have a spare element
I want to say that since I posted my original problem with black spots appearing on the Schott Ceran top, I took pictures of the top and attached them to a complaint sent to Maytag. Approximately 3 days later, a Maytag representative phoned and offered a brand new top-basically stating that there is a fault with the tops. They would not pay for the labor to replace the top. My husband downloaded the instructions from Maytag website and installed it himself. These spots actually appear from within the surface and are not the result of a boil over, etc. The spots on my burner grew to the width of the burner. If you search the internet, you will see many others with the same problem with the Schott Ceran tops. I will never buy another!
