Cooktop Controls
The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat
settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as
chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking
area can be set to the keep warm function for minimal surface
cooking area operation.
For maximum surface cooking area operation, all cooktop touch-
activated electronic controls can be set to Performance boost
function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Set the
surface cooking area heat setting level to 9, then touch the “plus”
(+) key to immediately reach the highest setting.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
First use or after a power failure:
After connecting the cooktop to an electrical power suppy or
after a power failure, the control panel will be locked. An indicator
light above the key icon will be on. To unlock the control panel,
press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. The indicator
light will turn off, and the cooktop is ready for use.
To Use
To Turn On the Cooktop:
1. Press POWER.
The indicator light above the Power keypad along with a dash
(“-”) in each surface cooking area will light to indicate that
each surface cooking area is ready to be activated.
Inactivity for 10 seconds after the main power has been
turned on will automatically turn off the power to the cooktop.
If a cooking function or the power slider is touched without
first selecting a surface cooking area, all dashes (one for each
zone) will flash and an invalid tone will sound 3 times.
To Turn on a Surface Cooking Area:
2. Touch directly on the display area for the surface cooking
area you want to use.
The current power level and indicator light will flash for
10 seconds then remain on.
Touching any other feature or the power slider stops the
flashing, and information for the keypad that was touched will
be displayed.
When a surface cooking area is selected, the timer will also
turn on to show that it can now be set.
When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for
1 minute, the surface cooking area will automatically turn off
and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.
3. Select a heat setting from 1 - 9 by touching/sliding on the
power slider. The heat setting will appear in the surface
cooking area display.
The power slider consists of 9 positions plus a “Boost”
position. When the user slides to 0, “0” will be displayed. The
surface cooking area will not turn on but will remain active/
selected.
When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for
30 seconds, the zone will automatically turn off and display
only the middle dash without the indicator light.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
To Turn Off:
1. Touch ON/OFF to turn off desired surface cooking area, 1
tone will sound when Off is pressed.
2. Touch POWER to turn off the cooktop when finished.
Hot Surface Indicator
An “H” will appear in the heat setting display when the surface
cooking area that is in use 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 “H” will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
