COOKTOP USE
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 MELT for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated
electronic controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a
fast and rapid boil. Touch the “down” arrow keypad to
immediately reach the High setting.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the “up” or “down” arrow keypads to increase or
decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between High and MELT, touch and
hold either the “up” or “down” arrow keypad until the desired
level has been reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface
cooking area(s) individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn off all
elements at the same time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the
cooktop controls. The Hot Surface Indicator Lights 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 up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
WARNING

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
