Cooktop Operation
SOUND ADJUSTMENT
The volume and frequency, or tone, of the touch controls
can be adjusted through the user option, activated
through the timer controls.
•
To activate the user option, the cooktop must be in idle
mode.
•
Touch and hold CLEAR for 3 seconds to activate the
volume adjustment option. “Uol” will illuminate in the
control panel display.
•
Touch and hold CLEAR for 5 seconds to activate the
frequency adjustment option. “FrE” will illuminate in the
control panel display.
•
Adjust the volume and frequency using the
+
and
–
touch pads. One touch equals one step up or down.
The power bar indicator of the triple-zone element will
display the volume or frequency level. (1 bar = low,
8 bars = medium and 16 bars = high.)
•
As the volume or frequency is adjusted, the cooktop
will chime with each change. The chime will represent
the volume and frequency level currently displayed by
the power bar indicator.
•
To exit the user option and return the cooktop to idle
mode, touch and hold CLEAR for more than 7 seconds.
If no touch pad is touched for 10 seconds, the level is
then stored and the cooktop returns to idle mode.
