Notes
●
Pressing a cooktop ON OFF key only activates or deactivates a surface cooktop zone
but will not start the heating process. Activating and powering any surface cooktop zone
requires pressing two keys - the ON OFF key fi rst and then the power level selection (+,
- or med) must be added before the cooktop zone will begin heating.
● Any of the cooking zones will begin to heat ONLY when activated - See Fig. 2, p 19. If
a power level is not added to the active cooking zone within 10 seconds of being active
the control will automatically deactivate the cooking zone.
● If activating a surface cooking zone when no surface cooking zones are already active,
you will need to press and hold the ON OFF key for a few seconds longer than normal
before the fi rst cooking zone will activate. Once any cooking zone is active, any zones
added will respond immediately.
