Available Power Level Settings
The cooktop control’s LED bar displays the
element’s power level settings, ranging from Lo to
Hi to Boost. Adjust the settings in increments of
one, from Lo (Level 1) to Boost (Level 10).
To select Hi, turn the knob clockwise, through level
8 to Hi/Boost.
•
Boost Power Level
To activate the Boost mode, turn the knob directly
from Off to Boost. Boost mode is only available
immediately after activating a cooking element.
When the cooking element is set to the Boost
mode, the LED bar flashes and the Boost mode
stays in operation for up to 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, the cooking element automatically returns
to the Hi setting.

The maximum operating time for all element levels
except the Boost mode is 12 hours.
Hot Surface Indicator
The hot surface indicator light glows as long as any
surface cooking area is too hot to touch.
It remains on after the element is turned off and until
the surface has cooled to approximately 130 °F.
It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on and
off when cooking at lower temperature settings.
