POWER MODE vs. TEMPERATURE MODE
If a specifi c cooking temperature is not required, we suggest using Power Mode instead of
Temperature Mode. To quickly bring a pot of water to boil, use a higher power level setting. For
frying or browning food, Temperature Mode is preferred because the built-in micro processor
monitors and regulates the cookware temperature to the preset temperature. Frying or browning
food using Power Mode may overheat the cookware, and in some cases, extremely high
temperatures may damage your cookware or cooktop. The duxtop(c) induction cooktop has a built-
in safety mechanism to detect such situations and the unit can switch to Temp Mode from Power
Mode automatically when overheating is detected. When this happens it is an indication that Temp
Mode may be more suitable for your current cooking task.
Limitations of Temperature Mode
Like all other cooktop with a glass top, the temperature sensor is located underneath the glass
cooktop. As a result, and that different cookware yields different temperatures, the temperature
readout is only an estimate of the actual cooking temperature. It is accurate enough for daily
cooking requirements. The temperature in your pan may be different than the setting you have
selected. Please test a few times to fi nd the proper temperature setting for your particular cooking
task and cookware.
170-MINUTE AUTOMATIC TIMER
The automatic timer may be used with either the Temperature or Power Mode. Press the TIMER
MODE button until the TIMER light illuminates red and “0” will appear in the LED DISPLAY.
To set the desired cooking time, use the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons. Time will increase or
decrease 1 minute each time one of the buttons is pressed. Press and hold the + or - button helps
to set the desired cooking time quickly.
The timer may be adjusted at any time during operation. When the time has expired, the timer will
"beep" and the cooktop will turn off.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
Unless the timer has been set, this unit will shut down automatically in 120 minutes if no button or
key is pressed. This is a feature in compliance with safety regulations.
NOTE:
The cooktop unit will shut off and "beep", if either
• the incompatible type of cookware is put on the cooktop or
• no cookware is placed on the unit ("E0" will fl ash on the LCD screen)
