NOTE:
●
The lowest three settings will produce no visible
evidence of the surface unit being on although up
to 11% of the total wattage is being generated. On
the lowest settings, the percentage of power may
not cause the hot surface lights to light. An indicator
light near the control knobs will glow when either
surface unit is on.

The surface “UNIT ON” light will glow for all
positions except the off position.
