POWER MODE vs. TEMPERATURE MODE
Switching between Power Mode and Temperature Mode is accomplished by pressing the “MENU” button.
If a speci
fi
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 or
simply press the “BOIL” button. For frying or browning food, Temperature Mode is preferred
because the built-in microprocessor 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 Temperature Mode from Power Mode automatically when overheating is detected. When this
happens it is an indication that Temperature Mode may be more suitable for your current cooking
task. When two burners are in Temperature Mode, they work independently of each other and both
can reach the maximum temperature, 460 °F and will not exceed it.
Limitations of Temperature Mode:
Like all other cooktops with a glass cooktop, the temperature sensor is located underneath the
glass top. 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.
Power Sharing Feature:
Power sharing technology is a safety and ef
fi
ciency feature. It is designed to avoid electrical hazards and
increase ef
fi
ciency by allowing the burners to share power between them when they are in Power Mode.
When operating only one burner, the maximum power of the left burner is 1800W and the right is
1000W. They do not have equal power.
When operating both burners, their maximum COMBINED power is 1800W. When operating both
burners at the same time, increasing the power level of one burner will cause the other burner
to self-adjust, and decrease if needed, in order not exceed 1800W. (i.e. if the left burner is set to
1000W, the right burner will operate at a maximum of 800W.)
