Safety Instructions

Touch the 

ON/OFF

pad, then touch

the 

(+)

/

pad.

Use the 

(+)

/

desired power setting.

To turn off a single surface unit, touch
the 

ON/OFF

pad again.

Single Surface Unit—Cook Settings

Surface Unit Cook Settings

The controls for the radiant surface 
units allow for 10 different heat settings:
LO, 2–9 and HI. The heating element
may not visibly glow at low heat settings.

NOTE: 

When changing from a high heat setting to

a lower heat setting, the surface unit may stop
glowing. This is normal. The unit is still on and hot.

NOTE: 

This cooktop has a rapid heat-up feature.

If the cooktop is cool when turned on, it will glow
red for a short period of time until the desired
power setting is reached.

Tri-Ring Burner

To use the multi-size burner:

Touch the 

ON/OFF

pad for the front

right surface unit. 

Use the 

(+)

/

(–)

pad to set the desired

power setting.

Touch the 

BURNER SIZE

pad as

needed to select the desired burner
size. When first selected, the 9

size 

is on. Touch again for the 7

and

again for the 5

.

The light next to the 

BURNER SIZE 

pad

indicates which size surface unit is on.

To turn the surface unit off, touch the

ON/OFF

pad.

At high or medium-high settings, never
leave food unattended. Boilovers cause
smoking; greasy spillovers may catch 
on fire.

It is safe to place hot cookware 
from the oven or surface units on the
glass-ceramic surface when it is cool.

NOTE: 

Cooktop temperatures increase with the

number of surface units that are on. With 3 or
more units turned on, surface temperatures are
high, so be careful when touching the cooktop. 
The hot surface indicator light(s) will remain lit
after the surface unit is off until the surface has
cooled below 150°F.

Using Heat Settings

Using the surface units—Touch pad-controlled models.
