1) It is proper, if possible, for Stovetops [both gas and electric ranges] that are used for cooking, frying and warming up food to be designated for one class of food, and to have a separate cooking element for the opposite class of food. (See Chochmas Adam 74:4 and Shu"t Ksav Sofer Yoreh Deah Siman 54 where he writes that G-d fearing individuals should be stringent with this)
Another option is to have separate grates to use when cooking the opposite food class on the same range.
If this is too difficult, it is best to at least designate one of the flames on the range for the opposite food class. (Shu"t Ksav Sofer ibid. See also Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos Vol. 2 Siman 387)
2) M'Ikar Hadin (according to the letter of the law) if one wants (or needs) to use the stovetop for both meat and dairy, it is permissible as long as certain guidelines are followed, which we will outline tomorrow B'Ezras Hashem. (See Mishna Berura Siman 451:34 for the reasoning. See also Igros Moshe Yoreh Deah Vol. 1 Siman 59 and Yoreh Deah Vol. 1 Siman 40 and Orach Chaim Vol. 1 Siman 124)
