COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls - Electronic Touch Controls
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop electronic touch
controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a rapid boil.
When the cooktop is turned On or after power is restored to the
cooktop after a power failure, all temperature setting lights will
glow for 10-15 seconds. After the lights go off, the cooktop is
ready to use.
To Use:
1. Touch the ON pad for the desired element. The Keep Warm
light will blink.
2. While the Keep Warm light is blinking, touch the desired
Power Level on the Power Level Selector Bar.
A beep will sound each time a pad is touched. The lights for
the selected temperature setting, and all lower temperatures,
will glow.
NOTE: If a power level setting is not selected within
approximately 10 seconds, the element will automatically
shut off.
3. To change the temperature setting while cooking, touch the
ON pad for the desired element, and select a new
temperature on the Power Level Selector Bar while the Keep
Warm light is blinking.
4. When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn off surface cooking
area(s) individually or ALL OFF/LOCK to turn off all surface
cooking areas at once.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Indicator Lights will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
