COOKTOP CONTROLS
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When you are melting foods such as
chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking
area can be set to Power Level 1 for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to High when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil.
Touch Power Level 10 to immediately reach the highest setting.
To Use:
1. Touch the ON keypad for the desired element. The Power
Level 1 light will blink.
2. While the Power Level 1 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 keypad for the desired element and select a new Power
Level temperature on the Power Level selector bar while the
Power Level 1 light is blinking.
4. When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn off surface cooking
area(s) individually or ALL OFF to turn off all surface cooking
areas at once.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
The Hot Surface Indicator Light is located in the central area of
the control panel, above the Power Level selector bar. The Hot
Surface Indicator Light will glow as long as any surface cooking
area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is
turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Light will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
Component Temperature Management
The cooktop regulates the temperature of the internal
components during use. The cooktop automatically reduces 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.
Surface On Indicator Light
The control panel has a Surface On indicator light. When any of
the elements are on, the light will glow.
The power level 1 light next to an element will glow when that
element is on.
