COOKTOP CONTROLS
Knob Controls
The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push
in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide when
setting heat levels.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (on Knob Control models)
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 Lights will remain on after power is restored to the
cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.
POWER ON Lights
Each control knob has a POWER ON light. The light will glow
when its control knob is on.
Electronic Touch Controls
The electronic touch 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 MELT & HOLD for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to HI when bringing liquids to a rapid boil. Touch the
“down” arrow to immediately reach the HI setting.
