ELECTRIC COOKTOP OPERATION
Control Operation
The Wolf electric glass ceramic cooktop operates by
automatically cycling the heating elements between
zero power and full power. As the heat is increased on
the control panel, the element will stay on at full power
for longer periods and the element will have shorter
periods of zero power.
When using the dual or triple elements, all sections of
the element will cycle at the same rate. For safety rea-
sons, the outer elements cannot be turned on inde-
pendently from the center section.
Residual Heat Indicators
As an added saftey precaution, residual heat indicator
lights will illuminate when the surface temperature of
the glass is above 150°. Each heating element has an
independently controlled light located to the right of that
element. Even if the cooktop controls are turned off,
the indicator light(s) will illuminate to show the user that
the cooktop surface remains hot. (See Figure 3-2).
Modes of Operation
Lock Mode: All keypad operation on the control panel
is disabled and all of the heating elements are
de-energized. A steady glowing light within the "key"
symbol indicates the unit is locked.
• To unlock the control, touch and hold the "key"
symbol for 3 seconds. The unit will beep twice and
the light within the "key" symbol will go out. The
control unit is now in the idle mode.
• To lock the control, touch and hold the "key" symbol
for three seconds. The unit will beep three times
and the light within the "key" symbol will illuminate.
NOTE: When the unit is powered up for the first time
or if there was a power outage, the unit will default to
this mode.
Idle Mode: After unlocking the control panel as
described in Lock Mode, the unit enters the idle mode
of operation. The only valid keypad operations are the
"OFF /ON" for each element and the "key" symbol.
