HOT SURFACE INDICATOR
A hot surface indicator light will illuminate when an element is energized and has been activated
for enough time to produce unsafe to touch temperatures of the cooking surface. The light will
remain illuminated until the surface is cool.
SAFETY THERMAL CUTOUT
Another safety feature of the Lite-Touch™ Q cooktop is the thermal cutout. If the temperature of
an element reaches unsafe levels, the thermal cutout will open and power to that element will be
turned off. This is an important safety feature designed to reduce the risk of runaway
temperatures and possible risk of fire if a pot is boiled dry or unintentionally put on the cooktop
empty. When the element has cooled to a safe temperature the power will be restored
automatically.
MASTER OFF
To power off both elements simultaneously, touch the circular area next to the master power ON/
OFF graphic. Refer to figure D on page 10. This can be done without deactivation of the
elements if any are in operation, and is an important safety feature allowing the user a “one touch
off” in case of emergencies. All functions will no longer operate until the master power is turned
on again.
