Hot Surface Indicator Light
An “H” will appear in the surface cooking area display as long as
any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the
surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
Component Temperature Management
The cooktop regulates the temperature of the internal
components during use. The cooktop may automatically reduce
the power of all the elements in use to keep the internal
components from overheating. To resume optimal cooking
performance, allow the cooktop to cool down for 30 minutes.
Automatic Cooking Functions
All elements feature automatic cooking levels (Simmer, Melt,
Keep Warm™ and Precise Power™) that will set the cooktop to
precisely the right level for special tasks. These settings can be
used on more than one element at the same time.
To Use:
1. Touch the display area of the cooking element you want to
use.
2. Touch the setting you wish to use (Simmer, Melt, Keep
Warm™ or Precise Power™). An “A” will appear in the
display, and the indicator light next to the correct function will
light.
To Turn Off:
Simmer, Melt, Keep Warm™ and Precise Power™ can be turned
off in 3 different ways:
Use the power slider to set to a heat level.
OR
Touch the surface cooking area OFF keypad.

Keep Warm™
The Keep Warm™ surface cooking area can be used to keep
cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum
time to maintain food quality.
It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Keep
Warm™ function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking
zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use, and those that have flat bottoms to make direct
contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts
to remove cookware.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
Precise Power™
The Precise Power™ function automatically selects the highest
possible setting for tasks such as bringing water quickly to a boil.
Alternatively, Precise Power™ can be used to automatically heat
food with the highest setting, then decrease the power to a lower
power as the user desires. After 2 minutes of heating in the
Precise Power™, the triple element will begin cycling on and off
to avoid overheating. Element cycling is normal for all power
levels.
