elements. It has an adjustable heat setting for more precise

Three levels of simmer are available. The recommended setting
will vary depending on the quantity and density of the food being
cooked as well as the size and shape of the cookware being
used.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the “up” arrow to select the desired simmer setting.
When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface cooking
area off.

ALL OFF/Control Lock
The ALL OFF cooktop touch controls turn off all surface cooking
areas that are in use at the same time.

of the surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out,
the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop
touch controls.

keypad for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, CONTROL LOCK will

glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch,
even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
Cooktop Controls for Electronic Knob
Control System
(Architect
®
Series)
The knob-activated electronic system controls offer a variety of
heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods
such as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set
to MELT for minimal element operation.
To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the
surface cooking area can be set to WARM.
For maximum element operation, all knob-activated electronic
system controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast
and rapid boil.
NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation
without affecting cooking performance.
To Use:
1. The cooktop control can be set anywhere between HI and
MELT.
2. Push in and turn to desired setting.
