1. Press a cook-zone power button.
The zone’s ON designator lights, indicating power is on.
2. Press the Power Boost button (previous graphic).
The multi-functional display changes to “b”; all power-
level ramp bars are lit.
Using Boost Mode
This feature quickly maximizes the cook-zone power level,
which is convenient for quickly bringing liquids to a boil or
applying a rapid sear to meats, among other uses.
You can set Boost mode for three cook zones at a time
(one zone on the left side, the center zone, and one zone
on the right; you cannot set both zones on either side at
once).
NOTE
• Always clean and dry the cooktop surface before use.
• Boost mode raises the power about 60% above Level-9
power for 10 min. (You may then restart Boost mode if the
power condition allows.)
• The reduction in power level from Boost to “9” (after 10
minutes) is a programmed safety measure that prevents
overheating.
• You cannot use Boost mode when bridging (left-side zones).
Using the Cooktop
Using the Bridge Feature
You can combine (bridge) the left-hand front/rear cook zones into one tandem unit to accommodate a griddle or oblong
cookware. On the cooktop, a horizontal bracket indicates which control panels combine for bridge mode.
In bridge mode, the power level and timer for the two cook zones are shared, and the left-most cook-zone control panel
becomes the master control (i.e., the bridge power level is regulated/displayed on the left-most control panel).
This procedure assumes you have already turned on the cooktop.
1. Press the left-front and left-rear cook-zone power buttons.
2. Simultaneously touch-hold the left-front and left-rear slide bars.
The two cook zones enter bridge mode; bridge symbols appear on the control panel; the left-front control becomes
the master bridge control. (See the above graphic.)
3. Set the bridge power level by sliding your finger along the master bridge control (left-hand) slide bar.
• Pan detection is on the master bridge control (left-front control).
• The timer icon displays on both bridge zones.
• If no pan is detected on either zone for 10 minutes, bridge mode automatically de-activates.
• (During bridge mode) If only one cook zone has a pot, bridge mode de-activates in 10 minutes. (The cook zone with
the pot placed on it remains active at the same power level; the empty zone shuts off.)
• You cannot use the Boost mode while using the Bridge function.
