COOKING ZONE ON/OFF PAD - Each of the Cooking Zones have separate ON/OFF key
pads. Once the Main Power key pad has been touched to activate the cooktop, touch the
corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF key pad once to activate the Cooking Zone needed.
"- -" will appear in the Alpha-Numeric display. If the corresponding UP/DOWN Arrow key
pad is not touched within 10 seconds, the request to turn the Cooking Zone ON will cancel
and the Cooktop will go back to ready mode. To set a Cooking Zone power level touch the
corresponding Cooking Zone UP or DOWN Arrow key pad once. The Cooking Zone ON/
OFF LED will glow (Fig. 8). To turn OFF a Cooking Zone, touch the Cooking Zone ON/OFF
key pad once. The Cooking Zone LED will turn OFF (Fig. 7).
POWER LEVEL SETTINGS - The Cooking Zones have separate Power Level Alpha-Numeric displays.
Once active, the Cooking Zones will provide 22 Power Levels to choose from. These include L0(Fig. 11),
2, 3, _, 5, 6, 7, B, 9; as well as precise .2 increment Cooking Zone Power Levels between/._ and 3 (Fig.
9); and half-increment power levels between 3 and "7(Fig. 12). The highest setting P or "Power Boost"
provides 125% power for 10 minutes (See Fig. 10). Each key pad touch (or just holding down the Power
Level key pad) will scroll through all the available power levels for any Cooking Zone quickly.
RESIDUAL HEAT - Once any Cooking Zone has been used for cooking and turned OFF, and if the
cooktop surface temperature on any of the Cooking Zones is still too HOT, HE (See Fig. 13) will appear in
the Alpha-Numeric display for the affected Cooking Zone. The HE will continue to display if the tempera-
ture is still too HOT.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been
turned OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and
burns may occur if surface is touched.
KEEP WARM - Use the WARM key pad to activate the Warm setting for any of the Cooking Zones. The
ON/OFF key pad for the desired Cooking Zone must be activated first, then touch the WARM key pad
located in the Cooktop Main Control area once to set. LH (low heat) should appear in the corresponding
Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display (See Fig. 14).
PAN DETECTION - All five Cooking Zones will provide a Pan Detection message. If a Cooking Zone is
turned ON and no pan is detected, or the pan has been moved or is not centered correctly, or is not made
of magnetic material, power level will flash in the affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display.
